Following the launch of six new 1080p Bravia LCD TVs from Sony in September, Sharp also said it will complete its full HD (high-definition) Aquos-branded LCD TV lineups in November.

Sony offered a more complete Bravia-branded full HD LCD TV series in September by rolling out three 40-inch and three 46-inch LCD TVs, with prices at US$3,500-4,500 and US$4,500-5,300, respectively. The models all feature resolution of 1,920x1,080 and high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) inputs, according to Sony.

People and there 1080P lol. I have a 720P and I can't tell the difference at least in the stores between the 2. The only thing that I notice is the brightness and colors. I think 1080 is just a marketing scam.

Broadcasters will probably not be broadcasting in 1080p anytime soon. It's really for the benfit of ps3 and xbox 360 owners. I've not seen what a 1080p image looks like but I can't see the justification for paying the higher price. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
