I'm not calling you an idiot. I just like this cartoon. Also, "bah" to your 'too low' comment. It's all personal opinion.
;D

Actually 720p will look not as sharp stretched to 1080p. But 1080p scaled down on a 720p will look great! Additionally, at 12 ft viewing distance you can barely tell the difference between the two. And basically the only time you're really ever be watching true 1080p video is when you use Blu-ray, and since cable and satellite can't broadcast 1080p they're 1080i- which is far inferior to true 720p.
720p also better if you have a ton of DVDs that will be upscaled since you'll only be doubling resolution of the source. With that said, even 1080p sets are pretty damn cheap now. Right now BB has a 42" panny plasma for only $650! Again, you can't go wrong with either 720p or 1080p on a plasma. Just give it the Robotron title screen test, and you'll see the difference.
Blanka:
Stupid thing with plasma's is that they have weird pixel counts. 1:1 pixel mapping is a rarity on plasma's. Full HD for example is often 1080x1024.
Vanguard:
Actually, the 1080 / 720 is the vertical resolution.
A Full HD Plasma is usually 1980 x 1080.

Either DishNetwork or DirectTV does, I cant remember which (I work for comcast so I know we broadcast in both 720p and 1080i) . Also 1080i VS 720p is an opinion; Some prefer one over the other for different reasons.
