In fact, ABC and ESPN are in 720P, and many people think it is much better due to the way it handles motion better than 1080i.

A good deinterlacer should give you the same picture quality as a progressive signal.

That depends on the quality of the deinterlacer on your display. There are many HD displays that do NOT properly deinterlace a 1080i signal. They cheat and use a technique called bobbing (as opposed to weaving) which is basically interpolating between the lines without the using any information from the previous or following frames. It boils down to which device has the best deinterlacer, your display or your source component. It is conceivable that the Samsung BD player has a better deinterlacer than some HD displays.
