This may be true, but the vast majority of non-CRT based HDTV's are 720p 
native: plasma, DLP, and LCD are mostly 720p.  I expect the proportion 
of CRT's to all HDTV displays will go down over time as people want 
larger, thinner displays.

Interlacing doesn't make sense for anything other than CRT technology, 
because nothing else "scans" like CRT (which leads into one of my big 
beefs about display technology driving video formats; stupid, 
stupid...), which means that displays are more likely to be 1080p native 
than 1080i in the future as CRT's go the way of the Dodo.

Cheers,
Kyle
