HDTV's

[Kwaad]

I have had experience with the alot of monitors. I have used 1600x1200. And it looks identical to a screen of the same size running 800x600. Besides the higher resolution. And I have trouble telling the diffrence from more than 4 feet. And I assure you. If you have a screen less than 30 inches. You would be hard pressed to notice the diffrence unless you sit on your TV. I am right now, 4 feet from my TV. It would be closer to 5 feet if I had my old 26inch TV in here. I promise you. At 5 feet I cant tell the diffrence from 1080p to 720p. And I promise you. you CAN tell the diffrence from 480p to 720p from 10 feet. (very very easily) at least on a 40inch screen. And at 5feet. I just choke on nonHD content. Not being able to see each eyelash, each wrinkle, each speck of facial hair... You just dont know what your missing untill you have one and spend time watching it. EDIT: When I run my TV as my monitor I drop the resolution down to 720p I see none of the artifacts your talking about, and it makes the text bigger. (I know there is an option to make the stuff bigger, but I dual-screen it... and i dont want to change it on my monitor)
