Jumping in late, here... but yes.

An important part of my decision to get a 1080p TV was that I expected
to use it with a computer configured as a HTPC. I wanted 1080 lines
for when it was in that mode.

When TV's are listed as 720p I assume they also have 1080i...is this
correct?

Also, if you have 2 TV's side by side, one with 1080i and the other
with 1080p, is there a SIGNIFICANT difference?

Thanks!

As already advised, you can, and should, compare the various formats
rather easily at many of the larger video dealers.

I have been very impressed with some of the 1080p displays, on plasma or
DLH. Also, I had a large (64-inch) 1080i rear projection TV for several
years with which I was very pleased. - I suppose if you didn't compare
them, you would be quite satisfied with 720p. It's sort of like drinking
diluted Koolaid. - If you never tasted the real thing, you would
probably be quite satisfied. Even on a 40-inch screen, you could enjoy
the resolution if you were fairly close to the screen. However, if you
are sitting at a normal distance, you probably wouldn't notice much
difference on a 40" or smaller screen. On the other hand, you wouldn't
get the realism and home theater effects available with a larger screen.
