Full 1080p output from the BH100 requires a TV with 1080p/24 input capability. TV's with 1080p/60 input capability only, will result in the BH100 defaulting to 1080i output, and will not permit a manual change to 1080p.
I'd like to know more about this... I'm probably going to be getting a new TV in the next few months, and I was thinking about a 1080p DLP or LCD projection set, but I know nothing about the /24 or /60 business.

Some quick research leads me to believe that /24 is from film source material and /60 is broadcast standard. This article leads me to believe that what matters is the processing, and that most players will perform the conversion before sending the signal to a display. Does the BH100 not have this ability? So any display that won't perform the conversion is stuck with 1080i at best? Forgive me if I'm completely wrong, I just googled a bit so I could add something to the discussion, and now I'm wondering if that is a common feature to have in most players and/or displays?
