Thanks. Later, QD.
no tv is technically 1080i.

A Tv is either 1080 or 720. The signals are P or I.

720 tv's can handle 1080i signals and in some rare cases 1080p as well, although they down convert it to 720.

Unless u get a small tv (32 or smaller) u should definitely go 1080p.

To pick the best tv though, there are alot of factors to consider:

How much light is in the room during the peak viewing times *alot of light = no plasma*
How far do you sit from the tv? 10feet = around 42- 46". If you go larger it will be more like an entertainment TV. if you stick around 40-42. it will be alot more relaxing to watch the set.

Generally I find that people for main living room type tv get larger, bedroom = smaller. but thats up to everyone in the end.
