so who knows stuff about lcds, plasmas, and so on?

We've got a 42" 768P Panasonic plasma, a 56" 720P Samsung DLP and a 60" 1080P Sony SXRD. The only reasons we moved the 56" 720P DLP upstairs in favor of the SXRD was that we have a PS3 and our DLP was already over 4 years old and we're tech geeks. For the average person, especially never having HD content before, 720P is more than adequate. I would suggest, however, that you concentrate on buying a better 720P set rather than scrimping to buy a 1080P. I seriously wouldn't recommend either of the sets you linked to in your earlier post.
