I thought researching extensively would make my choice easier but It is making it more difficult. Here is my issue. I was all ready for the 720P until I read more about the 1080P. I just don't know if it will be worth the extra cost. After reading many posts I have decided to go with a 50 inch. My viewing distance is about 11 feet away and I watch television for the most part. Probably only one or 2 movies per month. I have heard that from beyond 10 feet the better resolution would not that be noticeable. I am wondering in the real world. If I am watching a non HD show on TBS will a 1080P look any better than a 720P? I am under the impression that the 480I signal is up-converted to the televisions native resolution(though I could be wrong).
Blu ray is not in my future and I have heard it will take a number of years before Comcast changes to 1080P. I am moving up for a 32 inch JVC CRT so I think most anything will be dramatic. I am mostly looking at the Samsung 86 or 87 and to complicate things I am looking at the vizio 50 inch Plasma that I could get for $1520 with a coupon and upgrade to HD through coupon. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Greg
