This technology is becoming simular to PC's. As soon as you purchase it, it becomes "old". Patience is not one of my virtues. I finally convinced the wife to upgrade from our current analog Mitsubishi to HDTV and now you suggest to wait. Is summer time a realistic time frame? I can hold out a little longer if the technology is significantly better. This TV is going into the family room that has two windows on the west side of the room. I plan on getting room darkening blinds.



I don't know anything about plasmas, I know alot of projectors though I suggest going with what you want, if you want to bite now, you midaswell. The thing with technology is it is usually always delayed, if Pioneer says summer 2007, it may arrive as late as November for the christmas season...who knows!



Anything new is going to be expensive. Almost all the new plasma displays coming out this year are going to be 1080P but they will of course come with a price tag. From what I've heard if you sit more than 8 or 9 feet away from the TV you won't be able to tell the difference between 1080I and 1080P. Add to this the fact that any 1080P broadcasts are years away so that the only 1080P source you may have are bluray or hd-dvd discs and the cheaper sets like my 720P LG(which looks just great IMHO) seem like a bargain right now. I think it all depends on what you want and are able to afford.
