Usual caveat. . . Unless something has changed: The only devises pushing 1080P are Xboxes, PS2, and HD DVD players when playing HD movies. Standard movies played on a DVD player are 480P that get upgraded by the player to 720P or 1080i. Broadcast TV in the USA is either 720P or 1080i. I am not sure what DirecTV is pushing these days.

Like Nostatic said, plasma generally has a richer color set and much better blacks. Burn in is a thing of early generation sets. LCD's are better in very bright rooms and sometimes with action sports.

720P or 1080I are still viable resolutions.
