Sony’s KDL-40ZX1, a 40-inch LCD HDTV Only 9.9mm Thin

Sony Japan’s ZX1 series 40-inch display is only 9.9mm thick at its narrowest, and 11.8kg. The display itself has only 1 HDMI port, while a wireless box can send the 120Hz, 1080p display up to 1080i images over a 5GHz channel many suspect is WHDM. That external port box will have 3 HDMI, 2 component, s-video, VGA, and even USB, mouse, and LAN port. All menus will be driven through an XMB Playstation-style crossmedia interface.

    Does this mean that the new ZX1 when playing a Blu-Ray 1080P movie through a PS3 will only display a 1080i picture and not a true 1080P? If so WHY?
