Got my LN52B750 (1080p)two days ago.

I live in Maryland and I have Comcast cable TV. I watched a few HD channels and I notice that they are all 1920x1080i @ 60Hz.

Why are they not 1080p? Why are they 60Hz. Can I manually change the refresh rate?

How can I find dead pixels easily? I need advice about the TV settings, etc. in which I can easily spot dead pixels. Heard people talking about dead pixels. Kind of concerned.

Cheers!
