TV shopping...question about 720/1080

Now I'm no connoisseur of electronics but I do know that 720p is the same as 1080i. So unless you buy a 1080p tv you are not going to have a reduction in picture quality. Most companies broadcast in 1080i so you won't be at a loss and if I understand correctly tv companies aren't moving to 1080p for like 3 or 4 years.

Hope this helps!
