The 1280x768 that you can get is 720p which some people  think it's better
then 1080i. It's about personal preference and the kind of TV you have,
especially if you plan on watching HD. 1080i is "fuzzier" then 720p which
you may or may not like better. What I'm trying to say is that until we get
1080p programming, 1080i is not all that and a bag of chips. Just my 2c.
