I have an HDTV question that perhaps someone on this thread can shed light on. I'm looking at HDTV sets and have a choice between a 720 progressive plasma set or a 1080 interlaced rear projection set. Both have about the same horizontal resolution. Setting aside the plasma vs. rear projection issue, my question is which presents a more detailed picture: 720p or 1080i? Gary Korn P.S. It was sad to see that the store in my area, Tucson, had to use an in-store HDTV generator to create a picture -- a truly awesome picture all the same -- as there is just no source stuff out there, by satellite or otherwise. This is supposed to change soon, in theory. P.P.S. The HDTV picture is orders of magnitude beyond a standard TV picture. We are talking about seeing every strand of hair, every scale on a snake, every needle in a pine tree. Beyond the detail, the color variations and shadings are like nothing I've seen before on a TV, I believe because the color definition is effectively infinite. An amazing sight.
