Plasma’s have glass cover and reflect lights in the room like crazy. VERY distracting. That’s why I go LCD.

The 720P products are obsolute in the sense that for bigger sizes they are worse to view movies,...etc.

So the buying public is choosing the higher density

So they are clearing the warehouses.

1080p. vs 720p. is there a difference? - Yahoo! Answers

*************************************EXCERPT**********************************

Outright is there a big difference yes. 1080p opens doors to things like native 24p playback (over HDMI) and well its just a larger resolution. So in theory it is definitely better.

But, TV size matters. Almost all consumer reports will tell you that you don't need 1080p unless you're looking at 37" (maybe), and moreso 40" and 50". You just don't see the advantages of 1080p on smaller TV sets is the argument. At 37" I might be inclined to lean towards 1080p still, but I'm not sure at 32" if I'd worry about it.

If your budget is okay with the 1080p TV, then no harm getting it. It will certainly not hurt your image at all. But if you'd benefit a lot from the savings, then I think you'll get an equally quality HD performance from a 32" 720p set.
