CRT?  If not, converting everything to 1080i doesn't make any sense at 
all.  If it's a 720p TV, then converting a 720p signal to 1080i (i.e. 
upscaling and interlacing it) and then downscaling and deinterlacing for 
display is just plain wrong.  If it's a 1080p TV, it should upscale 720p 
content to 1080p and deinterlace 1080i content to 1080p.

OK.  Maybe a plasma--I don't know anything about them except that their 
resolutions are usually neither 720p or 1080p and don't know anything 
about refresh...
