True, Nikon, but not ALWAYS true. If you've ever watched a monitor that doesn't handle deinterlacing well, it's unsettling.
And... Even though most newer 720p/1080i monitors will display a downconverted 1080p image (wasn't always so), they'll do so on a lower res screen. I've seen people argue themselves out of spending the money extra money for a 1080p monitor because there aren't many 1080p sources out there and it'll be some time before you see 1080p broadcasts or cable (which is true). But then those same people get home and bitch about the pixelation on their lower res monitors.
