Ok guys sorry if this is a repost of info.
Best buy finally(after several repair attempts) junked out my HP 4260N Plasma. I think its max display res was 1080i. After shopping around for my new TV, I decided I wanted one capable of 1080p since My Yamaha RX-V1800 has the 1080p upconverter built in and I want to be able to use it. The sales guy at BB kept telling me I only need another 720p TVand anything more would be a waste unless I had Blu-Ray because it's the only thing capable of true 1080p(his words not mine). I explained that my 1800 would upconvert to 1080p and he just laughed saying that it is not possible. His reasonong was that "if upconvert DVD players/ AV receivers really did 1080p, then nobody would be buying Blu Ray because it would all be the same res".
So, is this kid right or is he full of it? I don't really have the extra cash to go Blu-ray right now, but I want the most out of my TV. SHould I go ahead and get another 720 or get the 1080p TV set?
