Beginner questions on flat panel and DVD player

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Sorry for the newbie questions, but I'm just dipping my feet into buying a flat panel TV.

Question 1: Would 720p be sufficient on a 46-50" flat panel or should I go to the 1080p? What I mean is, would I notice a significant difference in picture quality?

Question 2: Would buying 720p now be short sighted 3-5 years down the road (ie will programming all be in 1080p and I'll be missing out?)

Question 3: Can a blu-ray DVD player play normal DVDs? If so, would it provide a better image quality than an ordinary DVD player?

Question 4: Plasma or LCD? I seem to like some of the pros I'm reading on plasma, but it seems like more Companies are no longer producing them, so I wonder if they will disappear in the near future.

Thanks
