Well, I was well aware of the broadcast format when I bought my TV, but I just felt it made sense to cover my bases for the future. I'd like to get a BluRay player, which will utilize the 1080p format. I wasn't looking for a bargain. If you're budget is tight, then sure, 1080p can go by the wayside, but what I spent for my TV really wasn't a big deal for what I feel I got. I purchase very few luxury items, though (heck, I don't buy many non-luxury items, such as furniture), and I plan on building around this TV for several years. I basically just set a price-cap for myself and then sought the best possible unit within that range. 1080p was doable, so I did it.
