Feeling out......
Feeling out a sale on the TV
1080i
DVI input, and a bunch of others
16:9
CRT Projection....really...last of the the small CRT projection. Narrow depth.
Purchased new in 2004. No burn in.
64 point manual convergence focus...one of the features I like when I bought it.
Comes with factory base.
Size and Input specs
Manual
Pic with base and some specs
$300

Not to get into an argument here but the average consumer won't be able to tell the difference......and I don;t thinkone is better than the other ...just different.
"The main tradeoff between the two is that 1080i shows more detail than 720p for a stationary shot of a subject, at the expense of a lower effective refresh rate and the introduction of interlace artifacts during motion.
While 1080i has more scan lines than 720p, they do not translate directly into greater vertical resolution. Interlaced video is usually blurred vertically (filtered) to prevent twitter. Twitter is a flickering of fine horizontal lines in a scene, lines that are so fine that they only occur on a single scan line. Because only half the scan lines are drawn per field, fine horizontal lines may be missing entirely from one of the fields, causing them to flicker. Images are blurred vertically to ensure that no detail is only one scan line in height. Therefore, 1080i material does not deliver 1080 scan lines of vertical resolution. However 1080i provides a 1920-pixel horizontal resolution, greater than 720p's 1280 resolution."
Tradeoffs to both, but still far better than a non HD set.

The winner IMO is the 720P because when your watching video it moves. 
But like you say HDTV>No HDTVYou have it priced nice, good buy for someone who needs one.
