Did some research. Very interesting, essential reading:

Basically, 720p is probably the best choice for any screen 50 inches and under.
Tv is broadcast in 720p.
Consoles are 720p.
Blu-Ray is 1080p, but the difference is minor.

I have been saying the same thing for over a year.  But for some people around here think that this is BS.  I have actually set up 2 46inch HDTV's beside each other 1 that was1080p and 1 720p and there wasn't much of a difference if any (sitting around 6-9 feet from the tvs).

 

But there is a noticeable difference on my 56 inch JVC.

again, the veiwing distance/size/reslution combo is really what matters. You just stated you had 2 TVs, at 2 resolutions, at 6-9 ft, but for all we know they are 21" screens, which then you'd be right.

I have a 32" TV at ~7-9 ft, and I will admit that I couldn't tell the difference between 1080 and 720, hence why I own a 720p TV.
