I have been researching new HD TVs with 1080P displays.  One thing that really stood out for me after carefully reading the reviews is that the vast majority of theses TVs do NOT accept 1080P as an input (the only TVs that are available today that I found that do are the HP MD6580n and the Brillian 6580iFB).  Now at first this may not seem like a big deal since there are currently no 1080P sources.  But in a few months the first Blu-ray and HD-DVD players will be available and will have 1080P as native source and output.  When I raised this as a concern to a Sony rep at CES, he looked at me with "what's the big deal expression" stating that you can simply scale down to 1080i on the player and then scale back up on the TV.  Well, I don't know about you, but I am not going to pay $1000 for a player and $1000s on a TV that are 1080P "capable" only to scale up and down.  With the pending HD-DVD/Blu-ray format war, maybe I should not be that concern.  I just don't want to buy a TV today that will not directly support a format that may be prevalent in two years (I plan on keeping the TV much longer than 2 years).  The other consideration is that the new DVD-HD /Blu-ray players and higher end DVD players will scale existing DVDs to 1080P.  I have heard that the next crop of 1080P TVs will support 1080P on their inputs.  Just something to keep in mind if you are in the market for a new TV.
