Plasma is as high resolution as the particular display allows, which is
variable. Same as LCD, DLP, and other technologies that are not fully 1080p.
But neither is CRT (in home HDTV applications) as high-res as you make it
out to be, because it substitutes the fuzziness of interlace and CRT
generally (at a higher resolution) for the lower-resolution but sharper
appearance of other technologies. Ultimately, as has been said again and
again, 1080i (CRT) and (roughly) 720p (others) are essentially equivalent in
overall quality and detail level, though slightly different in nature.

Yes and no. CRT is definitely better in subtleties of contrast
differentiation, gradations of different brightnesses, grey/black detail
etc. On the other hand, plasma is a close second in these regards, beating
out DLP and especially LCD. But the resolution of a 1080i CRT really can't
compare to the newer 1080p sets, whether DLP, LCD/LCDoS projector, or
direct-view LCD or plasma, all of which look stunningly clear by comparison
to earlier HDTVs, whether 1080i or 720p.

That's very nice, but I'm not sure what relevance it has for HDTV buyers.
