maybe when i am old and gray, like when i am 30... i saw where that sony 15" OLED tv is like $4k, no thank you. We'll call that a disadvantage I can't live with.

It all comes down to individual preference. That's it. 1080p is basically a numbers game that anyone can play, but relatively view win because of the differences in viewing distance and vision capabilities. Different tv manufacturers build screens in different ways, and few actually get it mathematically correct to cut down on costs, especially since people have more dollars than sense they days anyway, not knowing what kind of image they are viewing, as long as it's bigger and cleaner than SDTV. But things are getting better, and more affordable. I supposed it's because Joe Schmo is becoming aware and the technology is becoming cheaper to manufacture.
Having owned an HDTV for some time now, I am noticing a considerable difference in the way modern TV's look in comparison with my my own. Of course, I have always noticed at least some difference since my TV is a CRT projector. Colors must be converged properly, rainbows must be corrected, and viewing angles and distances must be optimized before it's even used for people more than just the roommates.
I do know that the only thing I have as a given for my next TV purchase is that it must be a 1080p120 TV. There will be no skimping on that part, because a 120Hz TV can compensate for any types of screen lag between i and p, and will minimize screen flicker on progressive scan viewing. (My TV now struggles to keep a smooth image on interlaced video, and it very noticeable on solid colors.) My main concern is the technology used in achieving that, be it plasma, DLP, or LCD. Every one of them have their advantages and disadvantages. The question is simply which disadvantages am I willing to live with?
