Todd, Feech, is the limit of your awareness for 1080P limited to OTA, DBS, or cable-delivered sources? How about the fact that there are those with Blu-ray High-Definition DVD players that output 1080P from their 1080P-mastered titles? And while the first generation Toshiba HD-DVD player can only output 1080i, the next generation will most likely be better technologically competitive with Blu-ray and offer 1080P output for those 1080P-mastered HD-DVD movie titles as well.
Also, it is a lot easier to accept and display at the imager (display) a 1080P signal than it would be to expect the imager/display to DEINTERLACE 1080i as that requires a heck of a lot of processing power, and there is a lot of 1080i content via OTA, DBS, and cable. Many videophiles have external processors capable of deinterlacing (the right way) 1080i, which most imagers/displays use a rather cheap/poor method resulting in problem artifacts.
If 1080P is not for you then that is fine. But why bother beating up on those that want it? I'd also use it as a computer display, but that is yet another use of higher resolution that you may not be aware of. :)
