I don't know of any broadcaster using 1080 at 24p or 30p, although that
should be compatible with all ATSC receivers. But high def DVD players
can output 1080p over HDMI.
By the way, that vertical interlace is called "wobulation," as I recall.
Can't be described as 1080i, though.
I think the problem is, as Craig would say, "analog thinking." The
retailers haven't separated in their minds the signal input from the
display characteristics. If a display doesn't read "1080p" in the specs,
it must get force-fed into either the "1080i" or "720p" bin. There are
no other bins available. If 768p sounds more similar to 720p than 1080p
or i, shove it in the 720p bin.
