What is the difference between 720 and 1080 - resolution?

On smaller screens (27") it's hardly noticeable. On larger screens
it matters....... unless you watch from 50' away ;-)

Which is better - LCD or plasma?

Beats me.
I just bought a 27" SDTV, tube type, for $250 at Sam's. Didn't buy it
for the quality picture, I bought it for the digital programming that
you can't pick up on an analog TV. This after checkin' out a 40"
split screen HDTV/SDTV for a few minutes and seeing a little
difference but not much.
Granted, a big screen HDTV can impress your friends, especially for a
Super Bowl party or something like that. But if you're not a TV
connoisseur and just want to watch a very good picture without the
"wow" factor and the bigness of it all, then a Standard Digital TV is
pretty damn nice for the money. And a tube type TV will last a lot
longer than either of the flat screen types, or so I'm told. Anyhow,
I've been pretty happy with mine.
