Well, 960x720 is apparently a standard (if 4:3 aspect) HDTV
resolution, and a 1024x768 panel is able to display that
without downsampling, so technically they're not lying.
Very few panels have native 1920x1080 resolutions anyway,
so with most panels you're talking about "how much" they
support HDTV, not whether they support it at all.
If you really want full-res, 1920x1080 displays, you might
want to look at Sharp and Samsung. They both have 1920x1080
LCD panels.
