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.

One thing people forget, resolution is only as good as the signal.
Lots of times the cable signal suffers over distance, and also the
cabling in your home, connections, etc.

My cable company, Comcast, has run fiber through my neighborhood to
enable them to provide HD signals. If I could only get Verizon to offer
me real DSL then I could get FiOS and dump Comcast and save some money.
