Man, you guys really know this stuff....

Please, a couple of questions...

1. I've heard that 1080p is going to be "the" new DVD standard, going forward, and that it is already out in Japan, for instance. Would you concur?

2. I've already got over 200 movies in the current American format and just flat could not replace them all (did so much of that making the jump from VHS to DVD). Will the new TV's coming out soon be able to upconvert from 480i to 1080p? I guess nearly anything's possible.

Every time I get close to buying a new set I find out something like this and then put it all off for another six months.
