The new panasonic plasmas coming out later this year will do 1080p from 50 inches up. The bigger question is is if the HDMI connectors are v1.3, which will accept 1080p input. Current HDMI won't (1080i max). I'm guessing they will include 1.3, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.
Given the quality of the scalers in most good plasmas (panasonic, fujitsu, pioneer, etc), it's almost impossible to tell the difference between 1080i and 720p.
