Re: Reasons why i should not be compelled to buy a 1080P set?

I addressed many of the issues in my note below on the message board.
In general I do not believe that now is the time to spend the extra money needed to buy a 1080p set, and particularly not one for that reason if you aren't in love with the video technology being employed. You would do as well with a top quality 720p/1080i set such as the much loved (by CR, interestingly, read their recent tests) plasma units from Panasonic.

Has anyone actually observed a plasma 1080p unit that is clearly sharper than a plasma 720p/1080i set on actual program material, the new DVD's included? In my mind this remains a theoretical issue unless you plan to sit 2 ft from the screen, and I wouldn't advise that anyway.

I think this is all a bunch of silliness that goes right along with $50 a ft speaker wires and $20 audio caps.

Talk to me about this again about 3 years from now when everything has settled in better and a whole bunch of technologies have disappeared.
