You didn't say what size of tv you were looking for? If your looking for 32 or under get a LCD. If your looking for a 42 or larger get a Plasma. On the larger screens Lcd's don't refresh the pic fast enough, even 120hz sets. Although the average person would only rarely see the diff. For the record NO ONE is broadcasting in 1080 i or p. the only diff is weather it's interlaced or progresive scan. the amount of data is the same. The reason they don't broadcast is they don't have the band width for it. The only way to see 1080 is with blueray or if you have a camera that takes pics in 1080. If you need a wide viewing angle be carefull on lcd's. if there is lots of strong lighting in the room be carefull on most high reflictive plasma screens.
