720p Versus 1080p HDTVs. The Facts

Pretty much, but I was thinking comparing the same resolution reproduction, ceterus parabus means all else remains equal. 

I know that!  But I've clearly been talking about native resolution content the whole time!

Studying languages are we?

yep, latin is a pretty cool language. Im just looking at some phrases/word meanings rather than actually learning to speak it.

Native resolution is not the whole picture, so to speak. As a good friend once said, pixels are over-rated and the quality of reproduction may be better on a smaller set than a larger set, resolution differences included because a 1080P source with flaws such as specular aliasing etc can look better reduced to 720P than at its native source resolution. This is particularly evident in games, however with Movies because the source is of such high quality you don't have the gains from the 'supersampling effect' when downscaling so therefore a higher output resolution is preferable. 

Btw is 'Reasonable' your tag everywhere or did you make it especially for here?
