LCD 720i or 1080i/PS3 Query!

Hi all!

In the next few months i want to get a first LCD tv to replace my ancient 20inch tv, i am going to get a 32" screen and buy a Playstation 3 when they are at a reasonable price. I will have sky too but probably not Sky HD for a couple of years until the price comes down etc.

So what TV do i need!!! Because on one hand i will be watch digital TV which every LCD can do fairly well but on the other i will have a PS3 with cutting edge blu-ray disc technology. Do i need a fancy tv or will one of the 400-500 quid ones do.

(I heard something about blu ray only running in 480 lines or 1080 with no 720 availble too).


Any advice general and TV specific would be great!

Regards

Ben

    I may be wrong but I believe that sets with 1080*1920 panels start at 40".
    May be a bit big but possibly more future proof.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    you won't really notice any difference with tv/video at 32" between 720p/1080p (with a computer you would). Also you will find much better picture quality still on crt sets of that size.
