Yes, it's another 'What TV' thread, with a slight twist...

Ok, I've asked before and yes I'm also too fat and lazy to wander back through countless posts to look at all of the other posts that most likely answer my questions. But here goes.

I'm going to buy myself a new TV, looking at LCD, preferably 37 or 42 inch wat it to be HD, obviously, but my main question is...

What's all the difference between 720, 1080i 1080p etc? I figure that 1080 is better, but 'p' or 'i'??? Which is proper?

I'll also be looking at a surround sound system to go with it, so thoughts on that too would be great.

Also recommendations on make/model would be great and I'll most likely be browsing and purchasing from that damn fine chap Derestrictor.

So, I open the floor to the font of TV knowledge that is the Pie & Piston

You nearly said it yourself, p = proper
