what do i really need 1080p for?


if my only intention of getting a plasma/or lcd is to buy a new tv, that can accept the high def signal in the future, what do i need a 1080p tv for? arent they only really useful if using a blue-ray type source? my intention is to NOT use this as part of home theater , or even to watch dvds..simply watch cable tv. that being said...looking for 46" isnt plasma the way to go? ive got a sony 36" Wega XBR and not much rivals that...so whatever i get needs to outperform it. And 720p of course is way less coin.

great feedback...forgive me..what signal will cable be mainly broadcasting in. and is there ever a case when 720p shows a better picture than 1080i? Thanks again everyone
ok, thx for the quick replies folks...i a 2 ch guy and lack the video knowledge you all possess. is 720 p better or worse than 1080i? my cable will be comcast, never going back to direct tv (another story. as for 42-46", plasma or lcd? or is this like debating republican vs democrat? way too many views
