I have read where RCA has started labeling their 4x3 sets as 'high performance' instead of high def for reasons that Dave C. points out. The Mits does have a 4x3 set that can display the 1080i in a 16x9 format. This seems to be the best of both worlds. You get HD 16x9 without the screen burn issues that seem to be all to common with the 16x9 sets.
