plasma will probably look better on SD but I have yet to see a plasma outperform the good dlp/lcd tv's on HD.
If you are going with a larger sreen size then yes the 1920 X 1080 will benefit you. You may want to check into the new sony sxrd tv's.
Buying a TV is tougher then i thought... OK
1. Picture quality for viewing DVD's, and HDTV (Time Warner Cable NYC)... What is the best DLP or Plasma, or is there really no difference?
2. TV with * 1,280x720 native resolution and 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution... Will i really notice a great picture quality difference?! (If not thats about $800-1000 saved there).... I have read that if i buy a TV thats maybe 60 inches the resolution may matter a bit but if its say 56, i wont notice that much difference? Any truth?
Thanks
