The display does accept 1080P input through two DVI, one HDMI and two sets
of component inputs.
The question of whether a 1080P input actually is left untouched by the
internal scaler is a good one. I think that it is always in use as there is
a "fill" function that is active even when I send 1080P from the Helois up
converting DVD player. Several reviewers commented that they thought the
scaler in the display was very good. The reason I was looking for a good
18080i to 1080P deinterlacer was that it seems that for certain program
material the image loses detail when there is movement. The example that I
was talking about with Leno was that he had a pinstripe suit on. When he
would move, the stripes would disappear. When he was still, they were
plainly visible. In other cases I have seen loss of facial detail with
movement. Interestingly this is not consistent across all program material.
Perhaps it is the source material rather than the display as was suggested.
I am using a Directv H20 receiver set to native mode, in which it is
supposed to pass through whatever format that it receives to feed the
display. I get Leno OTA if this makes any difference.
I will keep in mind your suggestion about Lumagen and calibration.

Actually there may be no solution if the display does not accept a 1080P
signal and even then it would need to be tested to confirm that doing so
actually bypasses the internal scaler.
