how long to wait for 1080p plasma?

My dad just purchased the Panasonic 58 plasma, it looks really great....1080p if and when it comes out in that size will for one thing be pretty expensive but should also bring the 58' 720p displays down in price.

Panasonic already produces a 50" 1080p in their industrial model. June or July the consumer models will be released.

Thanks Yohjo. Does the 58 inch industrial model have 1080p? If so, how does it compare in terms of picture quality to the consumer model? I'll be using it as a monitor only in the HT setup. I just need inputs for satellite box, dvd player, and I guess a VCR. -Dave

is anybody broadcasting 1080? by the the time it's widely avail, you'll be on to your next screen!
