I am thinking of buying a Zenith 45” CRT Projection Television, HDTV
model R45W47. It has a built in ATSC and QAM tuners. I has 3:2 pulldown.
Nice unit but one spec worries me: The resolution is listed in the mfr
specs as 480p/1080i. It's my understanding that many stations are
transmitting 720p (progressive) instead of the 1080i(interlaced). Are
HDTV sets sold in the USA required to receive both 720p and 1080i? Will
this model detect and properly display 720p as well as 1080i?
Thanks,
