47" 1080i LCD for $1100 bux, can't beat that.
And don't be scared by the Olevia name.... It's really an LG panel inside.
It looks STUNNING.
Plus, this is a glass front, which provides better color, and more scratch resistance.

Just because a panel can accept an input, does not mean it can natively display it. I'm pretty sure thats a 720p panel. LCD's do not display interlaced images which is a CRT thing, but rather display progressive images. LCDs do not have to redraw the image line by line like CRT's, but twist/untwist crystals for only the pixels that change from image to image. The speed in which they can do this is the response time (usually about 12 ms). I'm pretty sure that TV will just scale the image the 1080i image down 540p (sub HD), then stretch it back to its native resolution of 1368X768. A native 1080p display can just reconstruct a 1080p image from a 1080i source (typical for HD broadcasts) without the need for scaling.
As for cables. Get them at monoprice.com. If you pay more than $8 for an HDMI cable, you were ripped off. Digital is digital. There is no difference in image quality, you either get a signal or you don't. STAY AWAY FROM MONSTER CABLES!
