Someone told me that most high definition channels out there and those that will be broadcast in HD will in in 720p format. The only benefit to get a 1080p is for HD DVD like blue ray. Is this true?


Absolutely not. The electronics should be newer/faster and do a
better job of rendering 720p and 1080i, too.


Well "new" 720P sets will be newer/faster also. No advantage for a 1080P set there.

No broadcast in 1080P. No content OTA, maybe cable or satellite will offer it but not in the near future IMO.

Anything 50" or smaller will not show much difference unless you are into counting pixels instead of watching TV. If you sit close enough to see pixels your are too close in my book. And if you can't see pixels I don't think you will see much difference between 1080i, 720P or 1080P on anything 50" or smaller.
