Will there really be that much of a difference in picture quality?
Especially on the size of screen Derek's looking for? If anything, I'd
guess the 720p set would look better because it wouldn't be introducing
extra data into the picture that wasn't originally there.

No argument here.

Well, things in the HD standards department are still a little fuzzy with
regards to the HDMI interface and such. This was one of the reasons I was
originally just going to go with a cheaper 720p set, but then I came
across a sale that put a 1080p display into my price range. Wife was a
little worried about how much the set cost, until I turned it on.
