HIGHLY disagree with that. |
I'm also going to have to disagree with ZenfolderVGI. While I think that the difference between 720p vs 1080p VIDEO is pretty much nonexistant for most people (including me), it is very clear to me when games are 1080p vs 720p. While I can't always tell if it's not full 720p, I can tell when games are not 1080p. The difference in quality is quite clear to me.
I've played plenty of games on my 37" LCD TV both in 720p and 1080p (I used to use my 37" TV as a PC monitor). And there really is no contest between 720p and 1080p. Hopefully the next round of consoles will be powerful enough to actually render in 1080p.
But if you (Zen) are talking about the fact that 720p vs 1080p is a moot point now because almost every game renders at 720p, then I could partially agree. I still think it's worth it to go for 1080p for anything over 32" because of future consoles/content though.
I like how you act like 1280x720 vs 1280x576 is noticeable on even relatively small TVs, but 720p vs 1080p isn't very noticeable except on the largest TVs. 1080p is TWICE the pixels of 720p. There's no way you won't notice that on a video game, where AA can only do so much to hide the game's rendering resolution.
