1080p. When I play on PC, I first set the resolution to 1080p, then remove effects until I get a steady 30 fps.
60 fps is nice, but after playing NFS rivals at 1080p, when it comes to a choice, I rather be able to see the traffic in the distance than have 17ms faster response time.

Of course 1080p60 is the best option (for current tv displays anyway), another Wipeout HD please.

This. Most PC gamers first prioritise their screen's native resolution. It has the biggest impact in terms of visuals.

Usually this means framerates between 35 - 45 for me given my specs. Which most people are perfectly fine with.

Playing games at 720p on my PC to get 60FPS? No thanks.

Exaclty. When I played Half life 2 on my PC. The best compromise for me, (gameplay, immersion, visuals) was 1080p (my native screen) with targeted 30fps and I found this setting without knowing at the time stuff about latency and input lag. I had overall a better experience of the game at 1080p30fps.

The same for the racers I played on PC.

Playing 720p just to gain 17ms response time? No thanks. Too expensive.

Except in competitive games (in a real competition not sunday competition) those 17ms are useless.
