    Help with TV purchase.

    I am close to purchasing a new TV. I currently have a PS3, but I am unsure of what TV to buy. I have narrowed it down to three sets.

    Set 1: Sony 50" LCD SXRD that runs 1080P.
    Set 2: Sony 55" LCD Vega that runs 1080I.
    Set 3: Samsung 51" DLP that also runs 1080P.

    The prices are vey close the Sony's are a little more expensive, but not by much. What I am most curious about is the P and I. P is progressive and I is interlace, but is there rally that much difference between the 2. I would also like to know what kind of cables I need for either set. Do I buy HDMI cables regardless or is that just for one type of set. Please help I am getting anxious and I would really like some outside assistance.

      Im pretty sure nothing really runs in 1080p yet, and wont be for a while. so Id go with the 1080i. Its probably cheaper too.

          ask in the HDTV thread at the top of the E&T thread, you'll get a lot more help in there.

              no cable channels run in 1080p, but yours PS3s, Xbox 360s, HDDVD and Blu-Ray can all output to 1080p

                  I am more concerned with the PS3 and Blu Ray HD channels areso scarce right now. I will ask a few more questions in the HD thread. Thanks for the info. It sounds like every one ele is having trouble deciding as well. Thanks for the help fellas.
