It does seem like the pixels/cells would either have to be stretched or spaced more.

Mathematically speaking, something has to give. There are much more qualified people here to answer your question so hopefully one of them will chime in. I did a quick search and found this post by BobY, who could probably tell you the most on the subject. You may try PM'ing him.

"If you are looking at 42" displays, then the Panasonic is 1024 x 768, so the Hitachi at 1024 x 1080 *should* look better on a 1080i signal. I believe there is a physical limitation to the number of glass envelopes/electrodes that can be crammed into the width of a 42" panel and that is why they are all 1024 pixels across.
If you move up in size, then you move into the realm of 1366 x 768, which is a better match for both 720p (1280 x 720, square pixels) and 1080i (1920 x 1080, square pixels).

If you want my advice stick to 1080P. It doesn't get any better and the prices nowadays are very reasonable. And you won't have to worry about all these weird ratios.
