Next-gen HDTVs may hide first-gen HDDVD limits, says Microsoft. next gen hdtv compensates for first gen hddvd. While the first generation of HDDVD players will output 1080i resolution - interlaced, not progressive - smarter, top-of-the-line HDTV displays produced from now on should be able to compensate for that, says AACS spokesperson Richard Doherty, a Microsoft employee.

In response to statements from Blu-ray proponents that its first-wave support of 1080p places it automatically ahead of HDDVD in the format war, Doherty classified their argument as "a big red herring."...
