Wanted: LCD TV that accepts 1080p25 over HDMI

I looking for a decent domestic TV around 30 inches to use with my Blackmagic Intensity Pro.

Currently I have to set the Intensity to output 1080i50 while monitoring 1080p25 acquired material.
All things being equal this would be fine as the output would be a PsF signal and would produce a suitable image. But somehow the monitor is deinterlacing the footage when FCPX is sat on a freeze frame, not playing. So is there a flag in the HDMI stream telling the TV to deinterlace?

The option to remove jitter while in pause is turned off in the preferences. I'm aware 1080p25 isn't exactly a widespread standard but it does exist and location monitors like my SmallHD DP4 will accept it. In fact the DP4 shows a proper progressive freeze when the Intensity is set to 1080i50 as well as 1080p25.

I have several LG TVs which all misinterpret 1080p25 as 24p (press the OK button to see the signal details) and the image does appear to jump frames. So I'm hoping someone might chime in with a brand of TV that they've had some luck with, or perhaps you can test your BM device to see if, when the output is set to 25p does the TV see it as such.

I've googled a range of TV manuals and looked through specs, and while none implicitly state that they can do 25p, it's possible that they might!? It's a shame that I can't take my tower to an electronics store as it would be so much easier to find a suitable TV.

Thanks.
