Hey, if you need a new set then sure, go ahead and get a 1080P. But why else would you dump a perfectly good 720P set? Almost every expert reviewer has stated that broadcast HD, gaming HD even a 1080P game, and 1080P HD movies look just as good on a 720P set as they do on a 1080P set. Unless you want to go bigger then why make the jump? The 50" Pioneer 720P plasma beat out every other 1080P display for PQ. Nuff said.
Agreed, it is for the most part just marketing hype that is unless your going big! But with the only thing native 1080p being on a disk or game(to an extent) I really don't care about going up now since they broadcast everything in 720p or 1080i anyways and it will be a few years until they upgrade too..
"Almost every expert reviewer has stated that broadcast HD, gaming HD even a 1080P game, and 1080P HD movies look just as good on a 720P set as they do on a 1080P set." That comment is total bullshit. I would love to see some links....
I have seen a 42" 720P and a 46" 1080P next to each other with the same native 1080P BD content, and I could tell the difference from normal viewing range. 'nuff said in my book.
