That is, where are the edges located in an image? In the jaggies? downconversion from, say, 1440 to 720, with an edge between the two 1440 pixels, then it's a toss where to put the edge in the 720 image. If so, could there may be an advantage to having a screen that can display the highest intended source resolution to be displayed. Or, are the jaggies as invisible as the pixel outlines are beyond the distance of discrimination? Or, is that something that can be anti-aliased away? Great site; I just stumbled on it via some wild and crazy google-surf-google-surf...etc. It has seemed to me that upconversion of resolution to the screen res is inherently more accurate than downconversion to the screen.

Guess which one was getting the attention. The 4096 shades of colors was the main eye catcher. -martin I've seen stores putting a 42" 720p plasma set (TH-42PX75U) next to a 50" 1080p plasma set (TH-50PZ700U).

However, doesn't some of the newer technology in the 1080p sets enhance the picture's color/contrast/sound) and therefore make the 1080p set a better choice? Compare for instance two Pansonic 42" plasma sets (TH-42PX75U vs TH-42PZ700U)and notice the speaker system, number of color shades and input/output categories.

I am a scientist and I know I have an advantage when it comes to reading charts and graphs due to my training and experience. However, some of the information seemed common sense to me, one in particular. The fact that at some given distance it doesn't matter what resolution is being displayed it will all look the same. Basically, if you're far enough away...all resolutions will look like crap. Seemed simple to me. PS -Taking off my glasses with the pictures above worked for me too....LOL.

Since I wear my glasses when I watch tv and my livingroom, 720 will work for me. Not that I'm not eyeballing the 1080 sets, I just can't justify it now.
