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...
