It will only display at 1280X736. Yes, it is great plasma for it's day!
It will rescale 1080i to 1280X768. I suggest that you also look at the newer HD Plasma sets.
Pioneer Elite Pro1120HD Plasma Display not 1080P. High end plasma display.Displays-720p, 768p, 1080i
I have found the above display used for about $2700.00
My question is will it display Blu-ray movies nearly as well as a new 1080P tv?
