I don't mind if it works. Microsoft did it last gen and they weren't complaining.

You seem knowledgable.  What I want is a big (75" or larger) television that is thin, but have little to no interest in Smart TV or 3D or other aspects.  Have not been able to find such a television, do they make them?

Of course he doesn't see a difference on a 60inch TV, when he's looking at it from the other side of his 2,000 sq/ft living room.

When you get up to that size I am not sure if they actually make them without 3D and smart currently.  Vizio and Samsung both make really nice 80" LED's, but I would highly suggest just waiting for 4K if you are in the market right now.  They are supposed to be just over the horizon with more reasonable prices that are actually worth dropping the cash on...and I bet they will have some huge ones.  Also, some people might disagree but I would steer clear of Sharp AQUOS.  They don't look good and have mediocre features.  Some companies like Sharp and Panasonic that used to be stellar in the Plasma TV area, are not the same today regarding quality and quality control with LEDs and others.  Also read up on Hz ratings and check reviews.  Generally speaking low Hz rates and no smoothing equals bad for gaming and sports and other high speed viewing.  Not ALWAYS true, but generally.  In other words if you are going to drop some thousands in 2014 or later, don't get a 120 Hz TV.  Also no matter what CALIBRATE.  Either pay someone to do it or (better-->) buy the Disney WOW Calibration disc the day you set up your set.

He used the right words; a perception challenge. Meaning you're visually challenged if you can't see it.

It doesn't matter if you see them or not, it only matters that you know they are there. Whenever you see a pop-in or bad texture or pixel crawl in the game you will wonder if it looks better on the "other" console, and it will nag Nag NAG in the back of your mind MUAAHAHAHAHA!

IGN couldn´t tell COD:Ghosts campain prepatch was running at 720p.

That and MGS-GZ were the only games with the massive resolution delta and still people had hard time figuring which was which, even when you know where to look at (jagged lines at the back ground).

As I said before, the resolution gate is closing, the "Ambient Oclusion" and "Screen Thear" are the new bullet point for console warriors, just wait for Destiny and COD:AW.

Are you joking?  PS4 and Xbone have been the same price for a few weeks now and we've yet to see so much as spike in sales much less even sales outside of the US.
