Should you really go for an 1080p LCD TV?
In short: is a 1080p HD TV really worth buying?
"NO", says Martin James
The fundamental specification for HDTV starts with 720 lines. Because of this, almost all HD-ready TVs are geared up for 720-line resolutions and its interlaced variant - 1080i. The marketing blurbs that call 1080p 'full HD' are misleading. 720p is a valid high definition format. It is HD. This is one of the basic requirements for the 'HD-ready' logo.
Unless you have a really giant screen - and by this I mean 50-inch or more - then most people can't really tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. What is more noticeable is the difference between interlaced and progressive video. So, stick with your standard HD-ready gear and set it all to 720p.
