makes sense, it would mean:
x/1280 = 16/9
x= 2275 vertical resolution.
In this case the 1080i could be displayed entirely.
On the other hand, I tried to look at Sony's, Samsung's and Toshiba's site for some of their rear projection CRT base telivision and none seems to show the resolution. This would tend to prove your point (if it would be so good why not brag about it?).
So it seems that the 1080i virtual HD mode would in fact be scalling down the signal from 1080i to a 720p (is it really p?).
I think that this site allows to bring some honesty in a world where everybody seems to be sayaing half lies. How can some one understand the following text:
1280 lines
It seems that it actually means 1280 columns.
I have to say that even if my TV is very good, I feel a bit cheated. I was expecting this TV to give me all information in 1080i, it is not the case, 33% of my signal is thrown out to garbage(720 lines). With 7% overscan, I am now down to 670...</font>
