HD isn't ready until these babies are widely available. Here in England we just have the 1366x768 sets, up to about 60inch. I think they sell 60 inch LG sets for about £4,000 (work it out in dollars yourself), but the Sony X series sets that do 1080p won't be available until around december. Until all sets can do 1080p natively, HD is pointless in my opinion. And they will be as expensive as this one I assume.]]>Jul 13th 2006 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/
Perhaps blue-ray DVD's will speed things along but in the meantime, broadcasters don't have the bandwidth for 1080p and have already made huge investments in lesser compressed versions of 'HD'.]]>Jul 13th 2006 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/Jul 13th 2006 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/
720 converted to 1080 does not always look so swell.]]>Jul 13th 2006 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/
true 1080p 24fps is here today with properly encoded 1080i signals... as long as the film source was scanned at 1080p it can be delivered 98% of perfect 1080p.

And you can get that with HD-DVD or your favorite 1080i HD movie channel.]]>Jul 13th 2006 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/Jul 13th 2006 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/Jul 14th 2006 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/Jul 14th 2006 2:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/Jul 14th 2006 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/Jul 14th 2006 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/
what channel delivers 1080i currently in North America?]]>Jul 14th 2006 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/Apr 28th 2007 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/13/pioneer-releases-50-inch-1080p-pro-fhd1-plasma/
Uhh, "never" is a long time. Do you seriously think that television broadcast resolution will "never" reach 1080p, despite the fact that 1080p displays will be a commodity in 2-3 years?

Just a wild guess here, but I'm willing to bet that we'll see 1080p TV at some point before the end of time. That's just me, though.
