(of course I've heard that from people attempting to sell me a blue ray player, so hard to figure out if it's true or not) The only thing I insist on having at this point is widescreen format to fill my whole screen instead of being in 4:3. Should I be looking at upgrading to a tv that supports 1080p? Is there that much of a difference between interlaced and progressive?

I can only speak from my experience, and I own an older Sony 42" Plasma that is only 1080i and I am using a Samsung blu-ray player. And I would say it looks pretty pants crappingly great. Obviously it depends on the source material. I have some Blu-rays from older movies (2001 A Space Odyssey, Terminator, The Shining etc.) and they look good, but they don't look like the Dark Knight, but that's to be expected. They are the best quality of those movies that I have ever seen bar none and they look much better than an upconverted DVD IMO.
