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 agree a quality 1080i/720p at a viewing distance up to 10' will look just as good as good 1080p. I bought a Pioneer Elite at a good discount when the 1080p's were just hitting and am hard pressed to see the difference when I see a 1080p. But when I get BluRay that may change.
I would say always invest a future proof as you can and get the 1080p anyway. I'd hate to deal with any regrets down the road.
