I agree with Mossberg's overall opinion. I think that too many consumers are buying the biggest TV they can afford rather than sizing the television to fit the room. If a TV is properly sized for the room, I bet 9-out-of-10 people couldn't tell 720p from 1080p. I think the motion blurring of 1080i would be noticeable to a greater percentage of the general population.
Besides, as long as copper wire exists in the majority of markets, 1080p will never be accepted as a broadcast standard.
