      Is there any 42" 720p plasma that doesn't have a 4:3 resolution?

      That's nowhere near a 4:3 resolution, 720:480 is 4:3.

      Plasma pixels are oval and they all have different resolutions than LCDs.

      @2 You fail at division.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution

      If I remember correctly the reason the resolution is odd is that the pixels are rectangular. The screen ends up wider even though it's still technically a 4:3 resolution.

      If you want one with more pixels you'll just have to find a model that has them.

      How do I fail at division? Standard 4:3 is 720:480, there's no division involved. There are also odd resolutions used in certain products but full 4:3 resolution is 720:480.

      #5, you fail at division because 720x480 is not a 4:3 aspect ratio, it is a 3:2 aspect ratio. Click that link that #4 provided. 1024x768, on the other hand, is a 4:3 ratio. But I don't like having a 4:3 image "stretched" onto a 16:9 screen because the pixels are rectangles.
