1. I may have to break down and buy a new 32"TV -- which I hate to
do, given the small number of channels I watch out of the gazillion
available.

Am in throes of trying to understand the pros& cons of LCD vs LED.
The little research I have done on-line, e.g.http://
www.ledvslcdtv.com/ as well as others, has left me more confused than
ever.

I don't want to spend "x" today if the technology is going to take a
quantum leap tomorrow.

Your thoughts on Led vs Lcd welcome.

2. A supposedly knowledgeable friend told me that paying more for a
1080 pixels TV is justified only if images are transmitted in 1080.
Can images be transmitted either way? Or is it a function of the
receiver? (Showing my ignoranceg)

Your thoughts on 1080 vs 720 greatly appreciated.

In regard to 1080 vs 720. The results of several tests I have
read about indicate that for TVs less than 40 inches (some say
50) you can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080. Before
you buy compare some at the store to make sure, but it is something
you should be able to see for yourself.

*I* can certainly tell the difference between the two small tv/
monitors that I have, one 720p and one 1080p. With the same source
(1080i cable box) the difference, to me, is noticeable and somewhat
obvious. Diff'rent strokes etc.

Using as a computer monitor, of course, the 1080p one just blows the
720p into the weeds. No comparison whatsoever.

Well, as said, at the store compare the TVs before you buy. I'm just
reporting what people have said after careful testing.
