If you are looking at two Sonys, both 40" and one does 1080p and the other is native to 720p; if it's $200 then sure. But if it's $1000, I wouldn't yet.
Cable and satellite companies are strugling with bandwidth (how much data per second they can send along the cable) right now. The big drive will be to get more HD channels, not to up the quality of the current ones. 1080p requires about 50% more bandwidth, so we won't be seeing it very soon as the standard.

Bell is working on a High Def receiver that uses MPEG 4 encoding for their signals, with less bandwidth used up due to compression, would this potentially lead to 1080p signals on TV?
