:?

So I've been rvesearching for the past several weeks about buying a 3DTV. I came across the Samsung PN43D49043" Plasma (720p/600Hz/3D). Customer reviews everywhere give it nothing but praise. It is only $550 and includes 2 pairs of glasses. :o There has got to be a catch! And there is. It's native resolution is only 1024x768 (what the hell!). Irrespective of that it still gets great praise. However, I feel that is going to be way too low for the next gen consoles coming out soon which will probably display most games at 1080p natively. So buying would make me feel like shooting myself in the foot. What do you all think of this deal? I really want 3D. It is not a luxury to me, but a necessity. :P

Or should I just go for the double the price, but much superior, Panasonic Viera ST30?

Yeah no you won't. Maybe around $800 you'll start to find some.
