Good deal man! Most of the time 720p vs. 1080p isn't noticeable in larger sets until you are further than like 8' away or something like that and even then not that noticeable unless you are really looking.

There's only going to be a difference when you're watching something in Blu Ray....unless the tv's and video processing itself is different.

I came to the same conclusion.
After looking around at best buy I decided the color saturation on plasma was better. LCD by comparison looked somewhat washed out. I realized most of my anime is 720p anyway so that wasn't much of an issue. I also noticed that refresh rate on plasma was an ass load better (600hz vs 240hz) and the response time was better. That leads to a lot less motion blur. My fears about life span were already put to rest. The panasonic was priced at $599 and the samsung at $649. I liked the image on the samsung better so that's what I settled on. Then it rang up at $599 :e39: In the end I paid half the price of the LCD I might have bought instead. The only real trade off was I got a 50" instead of a 55". But after looking at it next to my old set I don't really feel like I went down in size.
