    This could be a good choice to replace the 40" plasma in our living room. $1020 - has Component and HDMI inputs.

    Quoted: Panasonic TH-42PH10UKA for $1,019.00 at VisualApex is a highly respected and Authorized reseller for the Panasonic TH-42PH10UKA and other Panasonic Plasma TVs.

      1024x768 is not HD ... go 50"!

      Problem is, we have a "niche" in our wall that would not accommodate a 50" display. It's pretty lame that our old Sony blew out after 6 years of use. It turns out its a common defect - but they're not doing free replacements anymore - just offer of a $1,000 off on a new LCD display (but has integrated speakers and so also does not fit our niche).

      For not much more, you can get a 42" plasma with 1920x1080 resolution (vs. 1024x768).

      Thanks for the link. But I already ordered the other one. What do you think - can you tell the diff between these two at 40" (and will the content I view from a BlueRay disk or Comcast hi-def be higher than 720p)? I'm not an expert on this (obviously) - but I've read somewhere that there is not much benefit to 1080 below 50" screen sizes (I calculate that a 720p signal on a 40" monitor is rendering a 36 DPI image - that seems pretty challenge to visually resolve more than that sitting across the room (1080p would be 54 DPI).

      Depends (a lot) on your viewing distance. Above 10', don't worry about it.

      And yes, there is a lot of 1080i content out there on both signals.
