Hi, this is my first post so please go easy on me.
Is 1080p worth the wait?
I've been doing a bit of research on LCD's for the last couple of weeks and quite like the look of the Toshiba 42WLT58, especially with the Freemans/Quidco offer knocking it down 25%, but I've also noticed that the new Toshiba models (42WLT66 etc) are released in just over a month and that these support 1080p. This is where I'm getting confused as I've read today (What Video) that current HDMI connections do not support 1080p from a standards point of view. So my question is, are these newly released models going to support true 1080p, i.e. will they support a later revision of HDMI connection and if this is the case is anything likely to utilise 1080p in the near future or is it a standard that will not be widely supported?
Would I be better off making a purchase now and getting a 1080i model instead while the offer still remains?
Thanks.
