get 1080p.. I'm glad I did. You'll be regretting not doing so a few years down the line when HD-DVD and/or Blu-Ray catch on and get cheaper. 1080i looks blurry. It's because the signal is interlaced, so you get motion artifacts. I typically prefer 720p to 1080i for this reason, but 1080p owns them both. I can tell the difference pretty easily, but I do have a good source to compare. You can find a good 1080p set at 37-42" for $700-1k. Check out Westinghouse, they make decent sets for cheap. You can usually find deal's at places like costco and sam's club.

go research and good luck
Don't compare TV's at the store, people mess with the settings, so it's not really a good way to choose a tv. Go by features, all tv's can be calibrated to look perfect... in gneral
