There is a BIG caveat to that statement you made: "by people who have 1080i CRT displays". We need to wait until lots of true discrete pixel 1080p displays get out there and lots of people look at them. I have looked very hard at lots of displays ... zero being true 1080p ... and I simply do not see the 1080i advantage. I do see, on some displays, interlace artifacts. Interestingly, however, I also see no DISadvantage on my own 720p display if I set my STB to display 1080i for a true 720p source. It should be there in the form of interlace artifacts, on true 720@60p material (football) but I don't see it.
