yup to the last few posts.
It gets even worse when you go looking for an HDTV set. Just because a TV SUPPORTS 1080 does not mean it DISPLAYS 1080 lines! Actually, it's possible to have an HDTV that only displays a resolution slightly better than NTSC.
They do this a lot with LCD displays,... take a look at the native resolutions of these monitors and you will see you're missing half the pixels in a lot of models.
