Comment on Is There That Much A Noticable Difference In A 720p Hdtv Vs. A 1080p? by weeder

Geez, talk about your misinformation. First off, 720p IS HD and is NOT standard definition. Standard definition is 480p.
Secondly, the poster above is correct regarding screen size and most experts say it has to be above 40″ and even that is cutting it close.
Thirdly, NOTHING is broadcast in 1080p, nor will it be any time soon if ever, other than Blu-ray or HD DVD so unless you have one of them you will not see much if any difference in picture quality.
People watching regular TV or Sat on a 1080p are still watching it in 720p or a bogus upscaled 1080p.

Yes there’s a great difference.720p is just the SDTV(standard def.).But if you use a suitable media source which gives a full HD(1080) output like blue ray or HD disk and view from the right distance from screen,you will find the difference

1080p is the highest quality tv so I would suggest buying a 1080p over a 720p because the 720p is already out dated
So if you are planning on buying another tv in the next 1-2 years go with the 720p for now.

Depends on how big the screen is and what your sources are. The bigger the screen, the more noticeable. A reasonable cutoff size is about 50″ … bigger, and you’ll notice the 1080p more. Smaller you won’t notice it as much, especially at viewing distance.
If you watch a lot of std. def. broadcasts and/or std. DVDs, the diff. won’t be as great either. If you have 1080p sources like BluRay discs, you’ll see more difference.

Carlton W doesn’t appear to have any clue what he is talking about. and jacob shouldn’t have wasted money on getting an xbr5 it cost much more than the xbr4 but isn’t much better. ( not to mention the fact that the samsung 650 series cost less than an xbr4 but has specs close to an xbr5). Buy a plasma tv if your planning on getting one that is “40″ or larger, if not buy an lcd.

1080P TVs don’t do upconverting. What you put into it is what you get out. A 1080P DVD may do upconverting meaning that it can produce a better picture than what is put into it via interpolation but there aren’t any TVs that I know of that do this. On the other hand, there are TV stations that do upconverting of 480i content to 720P or 1080i such as TNT HD so that you get the benefit of viewing a program in HDTV format that was originally shot in analog.

In general, plasma HDTVs tend to handle SD programming better than the LCDs. It has to do with the difference in the display technology. Try looking at the Panasonic TH-42PZ80U. Also, 720p HDTVs definitely look better with SD programming than any 1080p HDTVs. I have seen this in side-by-side comparisons time and again.
Additional Details: All HDTVs MUST & DO up-convert a SD program (480i) or a 720p HD program to its native resolution (1080p). If it did not it would be useless since over 90% of the digital broadcasts are NOT1080i and NO one broadcasts 1080p!!!!!!!!!

between those two get a mac. macs are better at video and graphics , all specs aside, believe me ive worked on both. but dell isnt that great of an option for video editing either. any good gaming computer could do decent video editing, being that both video editing and gaming require similar hardware specs. and it depends on the software. some softwares (like adobe , rrrrr) sucks at hd. sony vegas seems pretty good with it as usually it allows you to edit natively, unlike premeire which doesnt.

you will get a lot of different answers to this question, your either a Mac or a PC fan, i prefer PC over ANY mac lol, so i would go with the XPS system. i worked for Dell for 4 years and hate their computers lol but they do have good quality and their customer service is ok, its even better if you speak indian ;p
