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.

I would wait until sometime around November and then give serious thought to 1080P. I own a Blu-Ray player and yes it is veru much worth it.

Unless you budget is forcing you, don't invest in 'last year's technology' as you will be locking yourself out of new possibilities.

Yes, those trying to analyze a cpmparison will say that "at such-and-such distance I found it was..."; but really, when you sit back and watch 1080P the color saturation and overall picture is really enjoyable.
