I was looking into the netflix players. It says they play HD content as well as media from amazon.com.
I was wondering just what were some of the HD media netflix is offering?
I suppost its 1080i and not p.

It's nowhere near 1080 anything -- 720p/24 is the maximum spec for Netflix "HD", but remember that it's compressed. Reports are that it's about SD DVD quality, maybe somewhat better. And two-channel sound only.

It'll look better on a Reon-powered Samsung P2500, of course, which will also give you real HD playback via disc.
