Some of your resolutions are wrong.
720 is 1280x720 (I think I mistyped in a previous post and put 1080x720,
definately not 1920 though)
NTSC 601 which is the proper viewing standard is 720x486, back in the day
everybody used 640x480 because it was easier but AFAIK nobody's made
professional equipment to do that in 7 years or more.
16mm film doesn't really have a resolution, its analog after all. For that
matter NTSC doesn't really have a width resolution though it does properly have
horizontal 486 lines but its interlaced so you only ever see 243 at any given
moment.
Sony doesn't actually make any TV screens that I know of. Sony's LCD screens
are all made by Samsung though Sony makes the control circuitry. Samsung's
screens have better contrast ratios though, go figure that one out. Oh Sony
costs more too.
As you said most TV stations are not yet HD but everyday we're working with
them to setup more HD hardware. AFAIK everything that NBC corporate puts out is
available in HD, I haven't been to ABC or CBS to see. Discovery is also working
almost exclusively (except for website only stuff) in HD, I had guys from
Discovery in class last week.
HD is just around the corner, I wouldn't even consider buying an SD set now
unless it was a real cheapo to have in the garage or basement.

The best resolution right now is the 1080i. It's has a resolution of
1920 by 1080 which is just under the resolution of 16 mm film( 1600 by
1156 ). You can adjust your monitor on your computer to see the
difference. Picture quality will go down i.e. 720i is 1920 by 720. The
old picture quality on TV for the last 55 years has been NTSC which has
a resolution of 680 by 480.
The number of information displayed on a screen is 1920 times
1080 equals 2,073,600. 1920 times 720 equals 1,382,400 and the old
picture we has seen for 55 years on TV is 640 times 480 equal 307,200.
Sport Jocks will as if the ball went foul and show the image on NTSC
which does not really show the world that we sell with our eyes. It
was
a joke and people not knowing will argue about the foul ball forever.
To
summary this issue, the higher the resolution, the better the quality,
you can see line cracks on people's skin, and the image is on the low
level of showing the real world as seen through our eyes.
If you want the best color display, Sony or/and Panasonic has the
best. If you select RCA and make a comment about the color of the
person
clothing, you are really not seeing what your eye see. There is a big
shift in the color Hues.
If you like to watch the soaps, theater, talk show on TV, go with
the plasma. Action viewing, sports, movies, and the like require the
CRT. CRT will keep up with the movement of action as the plasma does
not
and shows blurs.
720 P and the like, in my point of view, will be slow to come on
line. The media has resisted for over 50 years, and another change will
cost more.
One finally point, not all TV stations have HD cameras. If they buy
a cheap one, your see a cheap picture in HD. Colors will be poor,
resolution like 720 and the like. All the major league football and
baseball have the best equipment, therefore, the best picture will be
displayed on your HD 1080i....
