A co-worker is selling his Hitachi Ultrascan 51S500 for $200.

The 540p/1080i resolution (especially the 540p) is messing me up.
What happens when a 720p signal is fed to it?
What happens when a 1080p signal is fed to it? Does the 1080p signal get converted to 1080i? Will Blu-Ray's even display properly on this thing? If so, will the lack of 1080p/720p on this set kill/affect the picture while watching Blu-Rays?
I just don't want to waste $200 if it's gonna look like a mess on 720p/1080p content.
It looks great btw displaying a 1080i HD signal.
Any insight would be appreciated. Co-worker wants to know by tomorrow if I'm gonna buy this thing.
