Blue Ray player with 1080I TV ?


I am a little confused on using a blue ray or hd dvd player with a tv with a 1080I input, does a tv have to have a 1080p rating to get the benifits of the blue ray and hd formats, or can a 1080i get them also ? thanks

Cytocycle --

Your comment about most 1080p TV's upscaling 1080i internally is interesting and not something I knew. Does that mean that it's not time to upgrade the TV? I was thinking that to take full advantage of 1080p sources (e.g. Blu Ray) you need a 1080p TV. I know that a 1080i TV will work fine, but I assumed that 1080p was much better still. Which TV's are true 1080p, does it matter, and is this just a matter of little bit of time, or is this likely to be the norm for some time to come?

Thanks!
