From what I heard 1080p will become that standard in the future, basically your display will upcovert everything to 1080p.

I believe you're referring to what the movie-makers call "24p", which is 1080 lines, progressive scan, at 24 frames per second. It's becoming the standard for filming movies with high-def cameras, but I don't think it's going to become the standard distribution method for broadcast HD. It's great for making movies because then it can go straight into the editing and compositing software without a conversion, then be printed directly to film that way. But for broadcast, that format consumes nearly twice as much bandwidth as 1080i does, so I don't expect to see it replace 1080i.

I'm no industry insider, so I could be wrong. I'd be curious to know who you heard that from?
