RE: I'm in the market for a new TV. Do I rule out 720 and just go with the 1080 TV at this time?

Hello Artemus,

Ive pondered the same question myself for much the same reasons, yet my current set satisfies me from a viewing standpoint and at times, depending on the feed { currently dish network } still thrills and excites.

So with that being said the only drawback in my estimation might be the foot space it requires, my sets a Pioneer Elite 730hdmi and takes up a fair amount of real estate, my rooms almost identical in size to yours and while I love the sets looks both aesthetically as well as its HD performance it would be nice to have a " wall hanger ". In my case Im going to wait a while longer but it will be another Pioneer Elite when I do jump on it!

Only you can decide on what brand to purchase and like yourself, Im a music first, movies second kind of guy although I find it hard at times what to enjoy as both are reproduced so well. If I were to offer any advice it would be the Panasonic line, and for what its worth I also don't see a lot of difference in 1080i or 1080p when Ive taken the time to compare in side by side settings at the various retailers,{ quality brand dependent seemingly } not enough to justify the outlay IMO.

Good luck in your search.

Regards,
