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.

SWS,
Don't listen to this man, he doesn't know what he is talking about.
