I'd wait as long as you could, like well into the Fall, but I think you've answered your own question as far as this model goes.

Note the bold. No reviewer would go out of their way to be that specific if they weren't sure.

If you're really hot for this, I'd buy it direct from Dell or some place that has a good return and exchange policy. If you don't like it? Send it back.

buying a used one off ebay for less than 700
thats why im considering it and then selling it off year or two when the 1080p's come out

but im just curious about this 1080p thing?
so what are you saying its compatible?

the only 1080p capable HDTV's I've seen were 50" or better......so this would come as a shock to me...I am going to do somequick research...

[The Don]

voila....I read the link and found the info...

including 720p and 1080i HDTV, are scaled to fit the pixels. It's worth noting that both of the HDMI ports successfully accepted a 1080p signal from our test generator--something few HDTVs can claim. It's also worth noting that the benefits of 1080p aren't really visible on a TV of this size and resolution.

basically...it will offer the highest resoltion anything you have can offer.....but you won't really see the difference between 720p, 1080i or 1080p

okay so if it can offer 1080p how come dell doesnt boast about it or even state it in the specifications

actually it doesn't offer it....

480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i

plus...

Resolution 1366 x 768

basically it's 720p....

I don't know why they even mention 1080p...
