At 52'' 1080P is easily noticeable.

 

At 40'' and below though, 1080P is more or less indistinguishable at normal viewing distances (say, 7 feet away from a 40'' screen).

The difference is there, regardless.

Well, yeah, that's true, there is a difference....but look at it like this. On a 37 inch screen, you need to be setting within 5 feet of the screen with perfect vision to get the full benefit of 1080p. If you are setting 10 feet away, you can't tell the difference at all.

Some people on this thread have claimed there is a huge advantage to 1080p vs 720 in most instances. Even in the best case scenerio, the advantage isn't huge, and in the worst, it is completely negligable.

Now that plasma is dying, and you can get the 720p 50 inch plasmas from SAMSUNG for 800 dollars....when in reality, most people can't, nor will ever be able to tell much of a difference....yes, I think buying a 800 dollar 32 inch 1080p LCD is a complete and utter waste of money.

That is my opinion.

Now earlier, I hinted that there might be some science behind this, and that I could "prove" my point, but I really can't. I was just angry at an earlier post, and went off on a rant. Ignore that. Consider this my real response to the 1080p question.
