^^^That

Edit:  A basic rule of thumb when considering buying a 720p vs. 1080p TV is, are you going for 50" or larger, or less than 50"?

If you're going for a set smaller than 50", then a 720p set is fine, and alot cheaper too... most  42"-50" 720p plasmas can be purchased for under a grand, sometimes as low as $700 for some 42" models.  Most LCDs 42" and larger are usually 1080p anyway, though they are a bit pricier.  Basically its not worth spending the extra money on a 1080p set unless your going big, in which case most sets on the market these days 50" and larger are 1080p anyway.

Another general rule:  unless you have Blu-Ray or a PS3/360 to take advantage of 1080p, there's no point in getting a 1080p set since HDTV is broadcast in 720p/1080i anyway.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
