Re: Amazon.com TV Purchase - 1080P question

Rog' suggested looking at, reviewing product through  LCDTVs.com.  I did
and 
found a SONY  46" Bravia.

Maybe an Old-Hat question - but . . . .  Specs say: Progressive Scan: 
Progressive scanning (line doubling)


I thought progressive scan was literally what we used to call 
non-interlaced.  Period.  I also thought that line doubling was one of the

ways to up-convert.  Therefore, what is SONY saying here?  Is this model 
capable of reproducing a "true" 1080 *non-interlaced* (1080P) lines.  Or
is 
*real* 1080P still a bit of smoke 'n mirrors, that source material is, at 
max, 1080I ?  Sorry for the HDTV 101 question!
