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

unless you're sitting waaaay too close to your 42" tv, most people will argue that you can't see a difference between 1080i and 1080p....and since 1080i sets are much cheaper than those that support 1080p, you might as well save a few dollars.

I think you mean 760, not 750. I do believe that most HD television is broadcast in 1080i, which is better than 760.

Bluray displays video at 1080p, but on a 42" set, you won't see a difference.

Opinions always differ, but the general consensus is Pioneer Kuro's are the best plasma...followed closely by the panasonic plasmas. Aside from those two, I can't really comment on other plasmas. I know I own a panasonic and couln't be happier.

hope that helps!
