ok so ive been looking at this tv http://www.walmart.com/ip/LG-32LD350/13904848 im getting a ps3 to go along with it and im wondering how much of a difference there is between a 720p tv and a 1080p. if the difference is rather significant i would consider going with the 1080p. my budget is probably $1000 absolute max but i really dont wanna go higher than $850. that budget includes ps3 and one or two games (im really only concerned about black ops at this point but i love rpgs as well). i've heard that plasma tv's are actually the best way to go but i know nothing about them and i would assume they are pretty expensive. at this point though i just want something better than my 20 inch element, cus apparently its hd but i dont see it. i got it like 2 years ago for 200 bucks so needless to say its a hunk of junk compared to other tvs but i didnt have much of a problem gaming on it in my 360 days. so pretty much im just looking for some input on a good valued tv thats around 32 inch. ive considered this as well http://www.walmart.com/ip/Element-ELDFT321/14321388 but although some of the specs are higher than that of the LG, the refresh rate is slower and im not sure if i like element products. anyway thanks in advance for any advice.

Well the smallest plasma is generally 42 inch, but the performance jump over an LCD/LED is worth it.

Good suggestions, but why don't you build a PC? That is the only real way to experience games.

But I can't play Mario games on PC!...well actually I can, I just prefer not to mess with that stuff (Plus it's pretty taxing on a computer.)
