720 vs. 1080??

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I'm sure this has been discussed a million times, but maybe people can put up with it just once more...

How much difference is there between 720 and 1080?

I'm still using my old tube set right now, but it's going to be retired within the next six months. I've heard some people say there is practically no viewable difference in picture quality except on models over 40 inches. I've heard others say yes, there is a noticeable difference even on the smaller sets.

I'll probably be getting a 37 or 40 inch, so I'm wondering: is the 1080 worth it? Most likely it will be LCD, though that's not set in stone yet either.

Thanks for your experience and opinions!
