Not exactly a boating topic, but...

What is the difference between 720 and 1080 - resolution?

Which is better - LCD or plasma?


360 lines....... or 30% higher resolution

Plasma.

Don't believe anything anyone else tells you about Plasma vs LCD.


I'm buying one for my office - the old beast 32 inch Sony Triniton
finally gave up the ghost.

The HDTV in the living room was purchased by the kids - I think it's
an LCD, but I don't know for sure - I know, stupid of me, but that's
the wife's TV. I don't watch a lot of TV other than Dirty Jobs,
Mythbusters, National Geographic Channel occasionally plus sports when
I'm interested - other than that, it just sits there.

So I'm replacing the old Sony and getting 37 inch HDTV, but after
reading up on it, I'm just more confused. I get the resolution thing,
but what the hell is "natural" when describing resolution?

I've heard that plasma is generally a better TV than LCD.
