i always thought that the resolution is the amount of pixels? the virea do state a 1080p signal on a 37" inch screen. ive also seen a 42" plasma for sale with 1080p for just over a grand so it isnt that far out of reach

I was inder the impression that the Plasmas only produced a fairly low resolution:
1024 X 768: found on 42" & 43" plasma screens
1280 X 768: found on 50", 61", & 63" plasma screens
1365 X 768: found on 50", 61", & 63" plasma screens
So the most vertical lines you can get is 768...
This is why I'd go for something like this:
1st AudioVisual Uk: The Mirai DTL-642E500 42 INCH LCD TV: LCD Screens: LCD TV: 42" LCD TV
1024 X 768: found on 42" & 43" plasma screens
1280 X 768: found on 50", 61", & 63" plasma screens
1365 X 768: found on 50", 61", & 63" plasma screens
So the most vertical lines you can get is 768...

Nothing else needs saying, possibly the best screen I have seen, Pity I can`t afford one.

Yup - that backs up what I said:
"The PDP-5000EX has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and is capable of displaying the entire range of High Definition sources, including 720p, 1080i and 1080p – this is the first plasma display capable of 1080p."
Which is why LCD is better for the resolution (for less money)

Compared to plasma yeah they can look a bit grey,there are getting a bit better though, but you can always turn the backlight down a bit, or keep some lights on that will help a bit. But if money no object go for the pioneer. In fact I would be tempted to wait a bit save a few pennies and get the pioneer anyway. Don`t wait for SED or OLED. They are both at least a couple of years away, for the likes of us mere mortals if they make it at all.

What Hi Fi this month has a group test of 50 inch plasmas and though it was a close call, this Samsung beat the Panny TH 70X.
Samsung PS-50Q97HDX Plasma Television - price comparison
The review in the mag stated the Sammy was 1080p but I'm not sure if that is accurate, it may be 1080 with 1080p processing like the Panny.
I've got an order for the Panny but may cancel it for the Sammy, esp if it does have 1080p

I have the Sony 50" LCD projector - fine for the money [esp now in Makro
]. But am biding my time for a 1080P CRT! CRT is the new way forward - they are just soooo much better. Every time I see one I think this. D

It isnt a case of whether I can tell the difference - although on Fish's serves at Wimbledon last night I could. It's a a case of being given a sub standard replacement tv.
I thought I was right. I will contact my rental company accordingly.
Cheers Geezer!

Pixels is the first stat - 1920 for example. Then the other one is amount of 'scan' lines ina frame - e.g 1080. Tha'ts how I understand it anyway - two rather different things.

1080p refers to the resolution - I.e. the number of pixels. In the case of 1080p it's 1920X1080 pixels. (the "p" referring to a progressive scan image - I.e. the entire image is refreshed in one hit, and not odd and even lines alternative as in interlaced images)

Samsung do not make Sony's TV's - tha panels are built in the same factory but to differents specs.
The real difference between the 2 is the image processing in the background.
