In an odd way, that makes sense. I can't really recommend an LCD TV (I'm still using a flat CRT monitor because I'm concerned about pixel death in LCD displays), but most so-called hi-def displays will interpolate an HD signal to make it fit within the resolution of the display. BTW, a 720p HD signal should have a resolution of 720x1280, which means that any 1024x768 display would have to do some interpolation of the vertical resolution.
