regarding this question:
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?

-----
The Samsung resolution you quote above would display 720p
signals natively, that is, no downconverting would be necessary.
A 1080i which has a full frame of 1080x1920 would have
to be downconverted to 720p before it was displayed. If
your TV has a good scaler then you would hardly be able to
distinguish it from a 1080i signal from the 720p signal.
