I'd say that at smaller screen sizes - 37 or 40/42in, for example - one can get too hung up on the whole 1080P thing, rather than looking at the basic quality of the set. Even at larger sizes it's debatable - we have a fairly old Fujistu 50in plasma at home, and I haven't seen anything yet that's tempted me to fork out the cash and upgrade, even though the old monster 'only' does 720p/1080i.
