My big thing with 1080p is having the ability to process/scale stuff. Products like the Algolith Mosquito do a very nice job of cleaning up the picture (above and beyond with a sets internal processing can do), but will soon be able to output 1080p30, which will be pretty cool as far as resolution and detail goes.
It stinks...I just hate spending 5 grand and then KNOWING (and I know this will happen!) that I will have a technological paperweight 3 years down the road...at least with CRTs there wasn't a lot of improvement each year  With HDTVs the technology is improving so rapidly...hopefully a 1080p input will help cut that potential down so that I can at least buy an outboard processor when the upgrade syndrome arrives...

You might want to compare to Brillian's 65" LCoS 1080p when it is available (I think 1st quarter '06). Their 65" 720p ($6k) has been getting outstanding reviews (equal to Sony's top of the line Qualia at $10k) but you will only find them in some limited high-end A/V stores, not Best Buy or Circuit City. Their 720p spec's can be found here:
