Watching sports on my brothers Pioneer 5080 was perfect for me, since 1080p doesnt make a difference with hi-def cable broadcasts.

WELL, its gonna be nice at first, but eventually it will start to eat,
first like a mosquito bite, then like the occasional wasp sting.
Eventually it will be like a thousand termites going after pinochio.
I KNOW this thing, have been there myself thousands of times.
Just save yourself the trouble, regardless of LCD or PLASMA.
GET a 1080P, just go ahead , reconize your inner demon that demands perfection, and save yourself a lot of trouble.
SURE 720P will be around for awhile, and will do fine for some.
But not YOU.
YOU are not granny watching her "shows", granny didnt buy several thousand dollars worth of cables, speakers, etc, 720p wont make much diff watching Drew Carey on the price if right.
But the near pristine copy of Chinatown that they showed on
UHD the other night?
Admit it, you DEMAND perfection, rationalize the purchase all you want, of plain ol 720p, yesterdays perfection.
sooner or later, quite sheepish, you are gonna shamble down to the
local pusher at the video store, and plunk down the cash.
You know you will
