I vote for 1080p

Posted by jliedeka@tds.net on May 7, 2008 at 20:42:53:
I was in your situation about a year ago. I decided on 720p for the cost savings and the fact that I wouldn't really see a difference at my viewing distance. If I had to make the same decision today, I would pony up the extra cash for 1080p.

My reasoning is for getting more enjoyment out of Blu-Ray if I decide to add a player. (I probably will.) Some discs are encoded in 1080i which can look kind of rough when de-interlaced and scaled down to 720p. They translate better to 1080p.

It's probably not a huge issue and meaningless if you only watch upscaled DVDs. Just my $0.02.
