Hey John, its good to be back. I've been very busy for a number of reasons.

I have not seen that specific chart before and I don't really know what factors they computed to determine those viewing distances.

I may be able to find the reference that gave the relative bandwidths of 1080I and 720P as nearly the same. I still maintain that for a fully utilized bandwidth, the data content should be the same. However, the viewing formats may be considerably different leading to different optical "visions."

Anyhow, it appears that the salesman did not correctly state what was going on.
