I currently have a Hatachi 42PD5200. I may sell this and get a new Plasma or LCD but not sure which. I may get SKY HD so thinking of something that will do 1080i/1080p.
Any suggestions?

oh.. . also it's debatable how much better a screen is at this size at 1080, personally i can't see a definable difference and am happy at 720p - on larger screens (projectors etc) it's more worthwhile but that said my 720p picture on a 7 ft pj screen looks almost as good as at 1080 anyway!!!
edit as far as i know sky doesn't broadcast at 1080 anyway on hd so it's only gonna be good for ps3/blueray etc

sky broadcasts all hd content at 1080i
hence the engineers recommending you to set the boxes to 1080i
Are you sure?
I thought 720p was better for sports or anything fast paced/action.
It's one less process the TV has to do before displaying the signal, which can't be a bad thing.
you're eyes are better than mine, i can't - if anything i prefered 720p- and i should have made it clearer i meant 1080p hence the ps3 blue-ray comments

Ok so what will I miss if i keep my 42PD5200 over buying a new HD ready LCD or PLASMA?
