No, there is no established standard for HD.
720p, 1080i, 1080p are all different and have different data rates.
720p means 720 lines load every 1/60th of a second. 1080i means 540 lines load every 1/120th of a second, alternating like the tube TVs you're used to. 1080p has the highest data rate, it loads all 1080 lines every 1/60th.
Or you can go to the 120hz TVs, they refresh twice as fast supposedly.
But yeah, you really want to match up the input resolution with the TV resolution. Anything different will cause pixel interpolation and blur the image. If you are shrinking or stretching anything, you're losing quality.
A 1080p TV interpolating pixels will look worse than any CRT. And they look hideous on analog signals.
Yeah i know all the signal names, dont know about over there, by what youve said i gather they dont name the same as we do here, cause here, if its "FULL HD" its 1920x1080p and thats it, HD can be 1080i, 720p or 720i. SD is 576i over here.
If the CRT television is half way decent, itll do 100Hz flicker free progresive scan, direct view TVs ive owned in the past had that except the first one i got. I dont own a TV as such, but my CRTs are both 3 tube projectors. One of them is a video grade set, so its only good for 480i and 576i, but the NEC is capable of WAY more, and at 1600x1200 there is no flicker, and no flicker at 1080p, not even any flicker at 1080i if i set it to 72Hz or more. Basically, itll do any res you throw at it with no flicker, cause its got enough bandwidth that the scan rate is fast enough not to notice flicker.
If i had the chance, i would grab a Barco Reality 909 in a flash. By the time any digital gets to the standard of that CRT monster ill be too old to see it.

Dead right there mate, seems most TVs these days will do alot, but dont do any of it real well. Seems in that case, the best set to buy is the one with the longest warranty....
