you may have saw sets that took a 1080i input - but displayed it as
something else.

Really? So my Mitsubishi 1080p set,
when given a 1080i signal, doesn't
show it as 1080i? What then?

it turns it into 1080p ( not that it magically becomes 1080p quality ) -
your set is a progressive device - it doesn't do interlaced - any interlaced
inputs get turned progressive.

plasma and lcd screens are progressive devices.
they de-interlace any interlaced signal fed to them and scale it to the
resolution of the panel before displaying.
that's as simple as it gets.

1080i is the interlaced flavor of 1080
Odd lines are scanned, then even every 1/60 second for a "new"
picture every
1/30th.
The knowledgeables in this NG suggest that nobody is transmitting
in 1080P
(unlike Blu-Ray) and it is your set that eventually converts the
signal to
1080p

In the USA, 720p is used by ABC, Fox Broadcasting Company and ESPN
because the smoother image is desirable for fast-action sports
telecasts, whereas 1080i is used by CBS, NBC, HBO, Showtime and
Discovery HD due to the crisper picture particularly in non-moving
shots.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p

As mentioned you can get 1080P on blue-ray DVD but it is not used
for broadcast TV in the US.

Even when on Blu-ray, is actually recorded in 1080p, or is it upscaled
to progressive scan output just like the original 480p DVD units?

And how strong are the claims that you can tell the differerence
between 1080i and 1080p? Is more likely on a 70" or greater sized
display?

Hard to tell if the display upscales all inputs to 1080p (as my 70+"
unit does!).

The Blu-ray discs I have are stored either in 1080p/24 or 1080i/60.
That is, progressive in 24Hz or interlaced with half frames in 60 Hz.

does the blu ray spec allow for 1080p at 60fps ? - would be useful for discs
of sporting events.

Nobody?
I am very happy with my Sony 30XS955
CRTs are still the gold standard for blacks/contrast ratio, though newer
flat screens are catching up.
I am also very happy with it because I don't plan on moving it!






when i say nobody, i mean the shops dont want to stock them , and if they
did, most people would rather have a large flat, hang on the wall device.


Too bad. In large screens the price is frequently 1/2 of an LCD for a
dlp. I love mine and don't see why people want to hang a tv on the
wall.

Which would mean any 1080p @ 60FPS would be upscaled to progressive
scan. Most newer HDTV's do this anyway. The advertising for
delivering 1080p via cable/satellite/Blu-ray seems to be mostly sales
hype.
