Your TV has a 1080p panel and no matter what your watching the circuit board will convert it to 1080p You can hook up an old VCR and it can only put out a low resolution signal of 480i, and the set will say on the screen 480i, but the TV will convert it to 1080p so the panel can display it. Of course the picture will mot have a good picture because there was never enough information for the conversion circuit to work with. If you are watching digital cable/satellite signals then you may notice that some of them are 1080i and others say 720p, but this is determined by the cable company, not you. If you want 1080p then hook up a Blu-ray or a high end game console, and select that output in the sources menu. The TV only gets what is sent to it, not something the TV can change.
