Why, given the availability of a 1080p display, would you limit yourself to 720p? Can you predict what this display will be used for 6 months from now? Two years from now? It may end up in another room where the viewing distance is 6 - 8ft. Don't forget that Blu-ray movies are normally encoded as 1080p24 and Blu-ray concerts are normally 1080i60, therefore scaling artifacts vs a 720p display would not be there. What if this display sees duty as a computer monitor or an editing display for video or photography? The added resolution would be a benefit vs 720p. The only reason to go 720p is the lack of $. But if it is the lack of $, then save some more. In the meantime, prices will come down and when they meet your savings, buy your new display.

Given the pocket-change difference in price it makes zero sense to buy a 720P 42” panel… - three_sox 03:09:50 12/21/10 (0)
