That's so a couple of years ago:

and more...
Oh, and the weird resolutions include 852x480, and 1366x768 (and a few
others).
However, yours and John's points are correct--there's no way the native
resolution is 1080i. Since plasmas are fixed pixel displays, the native
mode has to be progressive...
