| What's really funny..
...to me at least... Most of the 'deployed' HD-TVs are max out at 720p anyway. So you know there is someone somewhere saying "Yeah, 1080P, that's for me!" When they've got a TV that can't even handle it... (Like me  )

| Everyone I know has a 1080p tv. Are they recent adopters? Well, within the last year. I don't know about most people, but I guess most plasma tvs and many LCDs are 720p. Meh, they're both fine, but the people I know want the best thing available sans the marketechnology... |

Meh, they're both fine, but the people I know want the best thing available sans the marketechnology... My Samsung LNS4096 40" LCD supports full 1080p and it's 8 months old already.
Hardly a 'new' technology, but it is true that there is nothing being broadcast beyond 1080i, and most HDTV's are only supporting 720p max.
HD-DVD and Blu-Rat both support 1080p on their newer generation of players, and I have a few HD-DVD titles that are encoded in the 1080p format.
1080p is usually not worth it for anything smaller than a 40" screen anyway,
but I should add that I have a 24" 1900x1200 DVI Interface monitor on my PC and the picture quality blows away anything I have ever seen on a TV before.
