I agree. The games running on my screen 19 in. screen at 1280x1024 look far better than the same game running on my PS3 at 720p and 1080i.

The only thing making a game 1080p does in most cases is make the graphics bigger, not better. All that does it keep the quality from noticeably dropping on a larger screen if you have one. 480p was enough for me. 1080p is overkill in most situations.

That is just plain wrong. You're telling me changing the resolution of a PC game from 720p to 1080p does not improve the graphics? Wat

It "can" improve the graphics, but 99% of the time it doesn't. Its the same polygon count, same geometry, same lighting, same textures(only bigger variations of them).

Only with the added benefit of extra resources consumed that you could invest into more polygons with more completx gemetry if it wasn't output at that resolution.

You forgot "more pixels", and that is definitely a part of what we mean by graphics.

More pixels=bigger textures. The graphics still look the same most of the time. It provides the potential for far better graphics but I seldom see it realized.
