Quad HD would be great for PC use!
Outside that, I'm not sure I see the point; Blu-ray's 1080p will probably look best on 1080p-native displays. Our current game consoles can't even manage 1080p rendering on most games, so the resolution would be wasted on them as well.
720p and 1080p will look fantastic on this display, because it's an even multiple.
@Matt
You're assuming it uses nearest-neighbor scaling for exact multiples; hopefully that's true, but it's not guaranteed. Regardless though, 1080p won't look any better than it would on a native 1080p set; it'll just look the same.
You're right that 720p COULD look better, but that's assuming you have your 720p source actually set to output 720p. In the case of game consoles and PCs, I think most people would leave the output at the highest resolution (usually 1080p) and let the console/PC do the scaling. In this case, the TV having an even multiple of 720p has no benefit.
I'm not trying to diss on quad HD itself; I'm always a fan of more resolution! I just don't think it has a valuable place in home theater unless we see some higher-than-1080p sources.
