You weren't clear if Good Guys was demo'g an HDTV broadcast or an upconverted DVD title. In either case both scenarios can only send the signal in 1080i so the answer is no...the signal was not 1080p. In theory, the best image you get with LCDs is when you match the source resolution with the native resolution of your TV, avoiding any scaling up or down of the source signal.

To clarify what you're saying about LCD tvs. With my Samsung LCD with 1280 x 768, it would be best for me to watch programs broadcast at 720 p in 720p? And programs broadcast in 1080i should be watched in 1080i?
