Resolution beyond 720p means practically nothing.

720p is beautiful enuff.


My 42" screen knows the difference. I'll take 1080p over 720p anytime, thank you.


My friend has a 720p 32inch TV, I have a 1080p 32 inch TV and boy can I tell the difference. A friend of mine commented how it looks as sharp as a stanley knife  on my 1080p TV while on the 720p TV it's not that much better than his standard def digital satellite picture quality.


Last week, I brought home a 46' Inch Toshiba 1080p LED LCD TV valued (by the furniture store) at $1700.  I took it home, hooked up my PS3, tried God of War 3 and Coraline on Blu-Ray.  The difference was noticeable but not too much better than my 32' 1080i/720p TV.  I only used component cables, though.  I wound up taking the TV back.

I plan to buy a 1080p TV (probably a Vizio) in the next seven days, though.  It's just that when I got it into my house, the difference between 720p and 1080p was not what I'd hoped for--and on top of that, until I realized what was going on, the PS3 would play video in 480i!!  Luckily I went to settings and made some adjustments.  As for the comment of 720p not being much different from Standard def digital satellite quality--I'm with DirecTV and I can DEFINITELY see the difference between standard def channels and HD channels!!
