Just wondering, but would a 42" 1080p plasma show any "real world" difference to a 720p/1080i version at that size? From many reports I've read, you would have to be inches from the screen to see the difference, which I, for one, would not recommend. Color may be slightly better, though, and if the entire industry is going 1080p, it makes sense to focus on one resolution across the board. Just don't spend the additional money for an invisible difference. The 58" 1080p may have some enhancement, though.

The 42 inch 1080p was only a prototype. It'll probably be released next year.
