Had our 50" LG 720p For 3 years now, no problems.
HD is just that, Definition is amazing, watching football in HD you'll never go back.
Remember the Telly's picture is only as good as the source,
Sky HD is in 720p, if you buy a 1080p full HD Telly, you'd only see the benefit of the slight
improvement if you get a blu-ray DVD Player which outputs 1080p.
Sky only do the live matches in HD too, match choice is in standard quality, which can look a bit grainy on a huge set.
Sky HD also has a £10 per month premium charge, before you've paid for channels, like SKY +
used to have when it was the top level of SKY.
Would listen to the other posters too, about wall mounting and bad necks, you need a very
big room to watch a high wall mounted telly without doing your neck in.
It would need mounting away from and definitely NOT above a heat source,
they (plasmas) pump out a far bit of heat too.
If I was going to buy another HD Telly, I'd seriously look at Panasonics Viera range.
My neighbour has one and it truly is the dogs nads, 1080p, 50", from John Lewis, delivered,
with change from a grand, you could get a Viera 42" full HD for £700+ if you shop about.
Happy with LG though, ask Matty,Freez,T. They've all been round for a drool

Bought mine from Currys in Blandcaster, good deal at the time, chucked in a better stand
for nowt, when I stuck my neck out like a giraffe and said I'll buy it now if you cut us a good deal.
If you want the best, think Pioneer still the Daddies but a different price league.
LED will probably be the future of TV's one day, but now they're early days and too dear.
Stick to plasma mate
We used to get SKY promos all the time offering HD boxes to friends cheap, maybe they
still do that. Worth looking into.
