There are no 1080p 37 inch or less TVs on the market.
Toshiba Makes both a 32 and a 37 inch 1080P.

What models would those be? The only ones I found had a panel
resolution of 1366x768

Their opinion was that you need 100" projection system to really
be able to tell the difference.
I believe anything higher than 50 inches, a 1080 TV would be worth
it. Most of the HDTV's above 50" are 1080 anyway.
Anything 42" or smaller , you should get away with 720 and still
have great picture.

If the original poster has an Xbox 360, you should definately ante
up and get a 1080P TV.

I think the only TV's above 50" that are 1080 are those that are
1080i rear projection or 1080P. The majority are 720P however.

I've heard that their may be a 1080i plasma or LCD but cannot find
one. Bob Miller

Bob Miller...resident idiot.....
a 15 second google search brought up 5 hits for 1080I plasma.


Maybe you could share one of those hits with me. They are a rare and
strange beast. Do you have a model number?

My 2-year old 720p D-ILA is certainly no longer state of the art, but
essentially the same model is still being sold, and once in a while I get a
chance to see it in stores side-by-side with newer 1080p sets. I find it
hard to see much difference in image quality. This comparison certainly
discourages any upgraditis I might feel, since my set has proven itself to
be completely reliable, which is never a given with any new set I might buy.

All I see here is a 1080P plasma. Want to try again? Lots of 1080P
plasmas, we are talking about a native 1080i plasma.

You are right. The display resolution is 720P. I was looking at the
specs regarding input jacks which lists a HDMI 1080P input. Never
Mind!

Mr. Martin found one. Want to try for two?

How are the store sets connected, and to what?

I'm not seriously considering HDTV, but have noticed
that at the local Sams Club, for example, all the HD
sets are connected via YPrPb (analog), which as I
understand it, means that none of them are running
above 720p.

....assuming the signal is even from a 1080p-capable
source. It might be upsampled from SD for all I know.

In the late 20th century, the mass-market audio
retailers had 50% of their stereo speakers out of
phase. This level of competence hasn't evolved
to any significant degree.
