Can you really tell a BIG difference between 720p and 1080p? im shopping for a TV.. and seen some nice BIG LCD tvs that were 720p but they were about 500-1,000 bucks cheaper then the 1080p...

Yes, ther is a difference, but a good 720p can look better than a crappy 1080p. So don't go for the cheapest, unless you do your home work. and watch out for the side by side comps at the big box stores, they are rigged to sway your choices typically

remember bluray is 1080p you want to be able to see it

really it depends on your overall source

blu ray will look fantastic no matter what setting

over the air looks the best ( i think)

directv HD looks great but some channels are just upscaled from 480i and you can easily tell which are

id say yes you can tell a diffrance as long as you are comparing apples and not some 32" besyt buy special vs a calibrated projector

false!

some blu ray players will do even 480P

any blu ray will do 720p/1080i

yes but i kind of bought one to get the best picture, not a lesser one, my point is when watching something that is 1080p(bluray) have a 1080p tv that will be capable of displaying it.

imo once you get the tv home, away from all the others you'll never know the difference. just pick out the one you like in your price range and get it.
