For real. Try playing a video game with the FPS capped at 30, then try playing it with the fps capped at 60. It's night and day.

All LCDs and Plasmas are 720p or 1080p. The only 1080i TVs are CRT based and there aren't many of those still around. Oh yeah, I'm one of those with a Toshiba 30" 1080i set and it does have a great picture with no motion problems that cheap LCDs have. I also have a couple of LCDs and my next TV may be a plasma.
One of the differences with a 1080p set is it will have better all around measurements such as contrast and brightness or 120hz instead of 60hz.
One suggestion I'd make is bigger is better as the old days of watching a 27" from 10' away because you'll ruin your eyes, no longer applies and you should be looking for a theater experience with a big screen. Anyways go out to some big box stores and have a look from the distance you'll be watching the TV from and if your budget allows go for an LCD with 1080p and 120hz or a plasma from a major manufacturer such as Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, LG, Sharp, or even Toshiba.
