1080p Plasma @ 1024x768 / 1920x1080?
Are there any visual differences between 1080p images at the two resolutions indicated? What differences do I need to take note of between Plasmas for both resolutions? Thanks!

This is the info page for the Plasma I'm looking at:
http://panasonic.com.sg/web/pid/3021
It says it takes 1080p signals. I will be going to Asia soon and am looking to get a flat panel TV. The next Panasonic 42" which is 1920 x 1080 is twice the price.

1024x768 is a computer resolution, not well suited for HDTV. It is also a 4:3 resolution, certainly not suited for a widescreen-shaped TV.
Now, if you were comparing actual modern-day plasmas, you'd compare 1280x720 & 1920x1080. Then it probably wouldn't be worth getting the 1080 at 42", as mentioned above. Although I gotta say, the 42" 1080 Panasonic plasma that a family member just acquired looks damn fine.
