RE: 1080p or 720p for 42 inch plasma ????

Posted by DavidLD on December 21, 2010 at 06:04:42:
To me, it seems that on the 42 inch 720p Panasonic plasmas, the pixilation close up is pretty obvious. Noticeably less so on the 1080p version. Maybe you wouldn't notice the difference at normal viewing levels but look at both pictures from a foot or two away and you will see a pretty obvious difference I think and why the 1080p is more expensive...

I've observed less visible difference between the two resolutions on LCD sets.

The set I am most amazed at is Vizio's 1080p Razor LED with built in wi fi. I have one of those in a small 22 inch size mainly as a computer monitor at work, and its a fine high Res monitor, but the hi def off-air picture is almost unbelievably clear and lifelike.

The Vizios come in larger sizes with the Razor LED technology. They are more expensive than the Panasonic plazma, tho places like Wal Mart stock them.
