Is there any reason why I should consider 1080p TV? It looks like the only thing that support 1080p is PS3 which I don't plan on buying and PC which I won't be playing PC games at 1080p.
Tell me what I am missing?

It probably doesn't matter to you.
Of course, all other factors held equal, 1080p is always "better" than 720p because it has more resolution. However, if you won't be driving it with a source greater than 720p (computer, blu-ray, 1080p HDTV signal, etc), save the cash and get a 720p.
If you're an "elitist" though, it's 1080p or bust.

Summary/Opinion:
Figure out how many devices you want to hook up simultaneously and their interfaces. If the LNS4041D suffices, get that (cheapest). Otherwise get the LNS4092D (most expensive).
Details:
At a glance, the big differences are:
Subjectively, a low black level is of utmost importance. Furthermore, it's easy for even computer LCDs to get too bright, which washes out colors, wasting the benefit of any additional contrast. Conversely, the lower the black level, the more important contrast becomes. For reference, I run my LCD at the lowest brightness setting.

At a glance, the big differences are:
- Connections
* Depends on how many devices you plan on simultaneously attaching to the display.
* The LNS4041D & LNS4051D have the same connections (2 composite A/V (1 side), 2 S-Video (1 side), 1 component (Y/Pb/Pr), 2 HDMI, 2 RF, 1 USB, 1 RS232).
* The LNS4092D has more (4 composite, 2 S-video, 2 component, 2 HDMI, 1 PC RGB, 2 RF), but lacks USB (whatever that's used for). - Viewing angle
* If you plan on having a lot of people viewing it, I'd go with one of the 178 degree panels (LNS4041D & LNS4092D) - Price
* Of course
