IEEE on HD-Tubes?

I'm in the market for an HDTV. I've been looking at tube sets between 32 and 40
inches, mainly Sony's upcoming 34" 16:9 widescreen set (XBR910). I was
wondering if anyone knew of an HD-tube in this size range that had an IEEE
input on it. I know that Panasonic's 34" 16:9 does not (no matter, the red push
on the Panasonic sets bothers me) and that Toshiba's 34" 16:9 Cinema Series set
does not. I'm not sure about the Samsung or Sony models I've been looking at. I
know that "Firewire" is an Apple computer term and that i.Link is a Sony term,
but they seem to all be the same port beyond that, is this correct?

As far as the televisions go, I have no clue...

But, yes, FireWire and i.Link are the same thing...
Both are IEEE 1394 compliant...

Good luck in your search,
Mark

Just curious, why do you want such a connection on your TV?

I'm interested in borrowing the D-VHS deck a friend of mine has, and I'm fairly
sure that IEE1394 components will become more prevalent in the months/years to
come.

The IEEE 1394 plug would be on the HD tuner, unless the TV had an HD tuner
built-in, most don't. If your friend has the JVC DVHS, it has component
outputs which would connect to most HDTVs for tape playback.

I was originally told that the only way to get the 1080i playback from JVC's
D-VHS deck was through an IEEE port. Will the component inputs allow 1080i
playback?

Yes they will output 1080i. Fantastic picture.

Is there any difference in picture quality between D-VHS connected via IEEE and
D-VHS connected via component?
