...1080i cable or broadcast sources on either a 720p or 1080p Panny plasma.
Why do you think your plasma is 1080?
Follow Ups:
I have a TH-50PX60U. After your post I checked cnet.com for the review and specs and it shows the display format is 720p.
I guess i don't have what I thought. But I did get it at a deep discount at the time through a Panny employee/friend.
But back to the original question, will blu-ray benefit me significantly over a good up-converting DVD player?
I've got a 32" 768P LCD and I see a noticeable improvement with BD. If you have any doubts, borrow a player and a BD disc of a film you have on DVD. Compare the two. Alternatively if you have a station that transmits both standard and high def signals on different channels, do a swap between the two. The best broadcast you'll get will be 1080i but you will definitely see a difference between a 480i signal, whether it gets upscaled in the player or in the TV, and a high def 1080i signal. The improvement should be more noticeable the larger the screen is so you should get a bigger improvement on a 50" screen than I do with my 32" screen. Just make sure you sit no further than 10' or so away, perhaps even 7'or so away, so that the screen makes a reasonable viewing angle with your eye.
The high def audio formats are also a noticeable improvement on the standard DVD soundtracks though, unfortunately, some BDs do not have a lossless soundtrack.
