The following link has an article discussing the 720p vs 1080p debate. I found it very informative and goes a long way answering a lot of the questions that are posted here.

Enjoy :

Thanks for the link... I found the article quite informative.

I've got it bookmarked for future reference. Thank you.

Yeah, look up "maxing our your resolution" article on the Sound and Vision website in the archives. It goes into detail the difference in seating distance and native resolution.

My 61" is 1080P and it does resolve every line of a 1080 test pattern, but when I get my 42" plasma for the family room, I'll go 768 if its a better deal.
