U can see difference between 720p and 1080p HD movies.
Most games are 720p so u wont see difference on 1080p TV.

I have 3 tv sets a 32''480p EDtv, 42''720p and a 46''1080i and the best picture of all is the 1080i when I watch HD movies on them.

It also comes down to brand quality,  you cant compare a low end brand like VIZIO or OLEVIA 720p/1080p hdtv with a Toshiba or Sony 720p/1080p hd

A 45'' screen @1080p give you the benefit to sit closer to it and enjoy a pixel perfect image,  unlike the same 45''screen @720p you have to sit farther away in order for you not notice some pixel imperfectiones.

I agree with most games you would get 720p across all HDTV even on a 1080p.

I would say any game or movie sub 720p is consider 480p... I've compared "SUB" 720p games on a 720p hdtv with a 480p EDTV and there is hardly to non of a difference there.

Now i can see a huge difference when I see a 1080p display in movies, tv shows broadcast in 1080p ect.

You watch a blu-ray movie on a 1080p display and it looks live, it looks like you looking through a window, it looks like it was filmed live without the grayish movie filter and grainy effect, is like watching it in soap opra format but its a movie.  (hard to explain)

I said that cus my friend just bought the lastest Samsung 55'' LED 1080p HDTV, is as thin as a laptop monitor alone, the picture quality looks unreal, unbelievable, breath-taking.

He wanted to buy the Samsung 3D HDTV instead and I told him not too, I think is not worth it .

 

 

I want to upgrade to this TV so bad but I have to stretch my old investment that I already have.
