Sounds crazy but check out your local Sears store for good prices. My dad just bought a 37"Panasonic 1080p for about 500. From my understanding 720p is just as good as 1080i. The p stands for progressive and the i for interlaced. For the average user to tell the difference you would have to be inches away from the screen. Not worth the extra 300 to get 1080p when cable/ satellite does not support it yet. imo the amount of DVI inputs would be a priority. You'll need 1 for general tv, 1 for your ps3 or 360. plus it's always nice to have one for any future add-ons. Bassically it's like everyone said, if you can't tell a difference then you're wasting money buying something extra that you don't see. If you plan on getting local channels with an antenna then make sure your tv has a built in hd tuner. It's usually a couple hundred more for the same model but then you do not have to buy anything else later.
