I need HD-TV help!!!

Nothing is taped in 1080p waste of money IMO. All the NFL they use 720 cameras. I don't think any major TV station tapes in 1080p. Only way to see 1080p right now is through a HD DVD or Blue Ray. save the money for hookers and get 720.

See, that's what I have found out in researching this. I don't have an HD DVD player or Blue Ray player yet (and probably won't until the format wars are over and the players are at a much lower price.) And, knowning that none of the HD stations are broadcast in 1080p yet makes me feel that 720p would be good enough for the next few years. However, as long as these LCD TVs hold up, then getting a 1080p TV now would mean less costly upgrades in the future.

There are no good hookers down here in southern virginia..hahahaha!

It will probably be a long time before 1080p is the industry standard, most due to bandwidth issues, but there are plenty of channels broadcasting in 1080i.

Yeah, but isn't 1080p better than 1080i?
