Same thing they do with a 720p (1280x720) signal. Most sets that are advertised as 720p are actually a funky resolution like 1366x768, so they have to scale the signal to actually output to the panel's resolution.
Any input that isn't the TV's native resolution has to be scaled or otherwise converted--that includes all 1080i signals, since it must be de-interlaced to a progressive format (and potentially scaled) to actually play on the set. And, as Zulfiqar already mentioned, the 1920x1080 panel resolution is finding its way into sub-37" sets now too.
