need new good big screen tv for under 1000 has to be 55 inch or bigger
Answer
This one is a must have, it is ranked as the best HDTV (that's not 3d) of 2010 and
blows away any LED. It is a 100 dollars more and 50 inch, but it's a must have model.

There is a 58 inch panasonic plasma S2 but it's 1400 bucks and the picture
is nothing compared to the 50 inch model I posted on top. Even though it's
smaller by 5 inches, 50 inch is huge and you have the best HD set of 2010 for
1100.

Is a 1080p tv better then a 720p?
francisco
Hi I have a 3d tv and it's a samsung plasma 50 inch 720p but apparently i play blue rays and Xbox and ps3 all at 1080p and there doesn't seem to be a problem when I connect a new device it automatically outputs a 1080p signal? However this tv is an old model bought it for 850 I just got an offer for 1100 because of the glasses but I saw a tv on best buy an led Sony new model 55 inch 1080p 240hz with 2 glasses for only 1400 so I will just pay 300 more plus tax of course but is led better then plasma is it worth it? Thanks :)
Answer
The image on your TV is just a collection of individual pixels. On a 720p TV, the number of pixels used is 1280x720 (multiply it out). On a 1080p TV, the number of pixels used is 1920x1080 (multiply it out). So on a 1080p TV more pixels are used to draw the image on the TV.
In theory that means a 1080p TV can offer a more detailed image. More pixels means more subtle details and information can be used to draw the image. But that's only in theory. In reality, human perception comes into play. Depending on the size of the TV and how far back you're viewing it, you may or may not be able to see the extra details. It varies from person to person as we all have different visual sensitivities. The only way to know for sure is to go into a store and look with your own eyes (at a normal viewing distance).
At 50", around 6-8 feet viewing distance, its thought most people would notice the advantages of 1080p option. But again, everyone is different. I certainly know people that have 50" and went 720p and are 100% happy with their HDTV viewing experience. You are watching a TV at the end of the day, not a spec sheet, so 1080p is only definitely better on the spec sheet, not necessarily in real world viewing.
As for Plasma vs LED, they are pretty close these days. People will be fans of one or the other, but they are quite competitive in quality now. Both have advantages and disadvantages. They both have great blacks. Plasma is a bit more glossy so might have issues in bright rooms (but new ones have good anti-reflection coatings). LEDs are still LCDs, so are still susceptible to a bit of a judder on playback of fast motion (Plasma is a bit more natural looking, like a CRT or DLP).
If you're okay with the TV you have now, I'd keep it and wait another 2-3 years. Sony demoed a new 3D TV at this year's CES which required no glasses at all. They've made it, but won't talk too much about it yet because its still heavily under R&D and not public ready. Other brands are working on the same. Some of the other ones are said to be pretty ugly, but the Sony one got some decent reviews, from the limited preview they gave people. So I'd frankly wait on that myself before spending the extra $300.
