Darrell,

I plan on revisiting this article after I return from CES in January.

But the simple answer to your question is nothing earth shaking on the technical side has changed. Therefore, if you are a non-discriminating viewer, a 720p HDTV should do you just fine, especially, if you watch broadcast TV, which is still only delivered at 720p or 1080i.

1080p TVs are heading towards being the norm, though I see sales figures that just put that resolution a tad ahead of 720p TVs, with the latter still holding a good bit of market share into 2010.

Now, one of the changes with the 2008 Christmas season is that the price difference between 1080p and 720p TVs has narrowed. But the extra dollars for a 1080p can still be substantial in these economic times.
