1080p

Its great to finally see some higher resolutions in the plasma market at affordable prices. It also appears that all of my complaints about plasma dot pitch (aka, the gap between the pixels) have gone away with some of these new sets. It no longer looks like peering through a screen door! Now if only they weighed less and did not buzz so much. :p

Price drops are also getting silly in the LCD market. If you look around, and do not care much about the nameplate on the front, you can pick up a high quality 1080p 42" set for under $1000. Most of these are OEM from well known brands.

How great do things look on a 1080p set? Couldn't tell you. I'll wait for this Blu-Ray/HD-DVD thing to finish and let you know later. I am not putting my money on either format just yet.
