New Plasma: 1080p or 750?

I'm breaking down and getting a new flat screen. A friend of mine suggested the Panasonic 42" Plasma with 1080P. But then he also says, most HDTV signals only broadcast in 750 and only some games and Blue Ray signal in 1080P, and that TV won't get to 1080p for years. Is that right? if so, no sense paying an extra $100 or more for a 1080P. Also, is LG as good as Panasonic? thanks

I have a 720p three year old Pioneer 50" plasma HD1130 I think

the resolution from 9' away is just fine, blu rays are spectacular as is antenna broadcast digital hd

the upgrade envy sits, but then I remember that Pioneer is coming out with a 60" Kuro with pure blacks in 2009
I can wait till then to take it to the next level
and keep my current set for the second room
