New But they will get better
A TV doesn't get faster every 18 months.
The Plasmas they're selling are currently 852x480 and 1024x768. HD resolutions are 1280x720 and 1920x1080.

New I was hoping you'd comment. :-)
How's your set treating you? Do you think you'd be in the market for a higher-resolution set at the same price you paid (with the [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=10357|same financing] ;-)) this year or next? Or is your set "good enough"?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.

New I won't get as big of an improvement.
Newer projection sets in the same price range now have 9" tubes and resolve the full 1920x1080(2,073,600 pixels). Mine has 7" project tubes and resolves around 1400x1080(1,512,000). Upgrading wouldn't give me quite the same bang-for-the-buck image improvement as going from 852x480(408,960) or 1024x768(786,432).
