A. Probably. 1080P is available on some HD Cameras, Blue Ray, and some personal recorders etc. now, although Broadcast TV is unlikely to use it withinin the next five years. The current Broadcast standard is 1080i or 720P. The set will normally scale the picture to fit the display. This technology has yet to mature and the current economic situation may provide some bargains over the next 18 months! It’s probably worth waiting until at least 2009 and after the start of Freeview HD.
