Good article with info on next gen DVD formats, focusing on 1080p. Sounds like the HD-DVD camp is far more practical at this point. Sony's insistence on 1080p output in Blu-Ray players is silly, since they only ship one set (a $13K Qualia with a $3K upgrade kit) that even supports 1080p input. I predict that we'll see 1080i at launch from both formats. Yes, both. Sigh.

Been doing some TV shopping over the past year -- this new Sony SXRD 1080p is the best set I've seen so far. Too rich for my blood, but once this goes on sale I might have to own one. If only the ugly side speakers were detachable :(

Discussion forum for the Toshiba 56MX195 1080p DLP set. Saw the 61 @ Video Only, looked good. They're willing to make a nice deal on the 56 (not much more than I paid for the 52" JVC I returned, and this has a built in tuner, dual hdmi, cablecard, 1080p, etc.). Only downside is that it can't actually take a 1080p signal in, but that's only relevant for HTPC and PS3 ... and both of those will probably be good enough[tm] @ 720p or 1080i.
