I'm in the identical situation... are the 2009's worth the extra $$$? Even waiting for a sale it appears that they'll be nearly $400 more for a comparable set.

Chris from Cleveland Plasma along with ISF calibrator Chad measured the G10 as having three times better ANSI contrast than the -800 series, with whiter whites and blacker blacks.

Is that worth $400 for you?

also in a similar predicament, although im more worried about 1080p versus some higher resolution...

in other words, how long will 1080p be good for? i know blu-rays are 1080p and HD cable/satellite is 720p, but should i be worried that my new 1080p tv wont be good in 5-10 years?

because frankly, buying tv's every 3/4 years is an expensive habit
