My wife and I were looking to get a new set and there was the HD DVD decision (we will be getting both---I am a sucker), then there was the size of the tv (we sit approx. 16 feet back from the screen) then came the 1080i vs. 18080p debate followed by the 120hz input of info. My head is spinning and my wallet is screaming "NNNOOOOooooooo!!!!" Then I read that the difference between 1080i and 1080p is only seen most clearly with the size of the display...so. What size tips the scale so that you can see a difference? There is certainly a difference in the shekels and newborn babies one needs to hand over! Thanks for the input you KNOW you want to offer
