1080p - This year?

Don't go by "most people," decide for yourself what looks best and fits your budget.

Now that is a statement I can agree with! Good advice to all. Here is what I said on the first page:

Don't take my word for it folks... go to your local best buy or whatever store you want. Find two identical TVS (same base model) with the only difference being resolution. Start 20 ft from the TV, and walk forward until you can see a difference. On a normal 50" TV, most won't see a difference until about 6 or 7ft. Much closer than the normal person sits from a 50" set.

That's funny, I could swear you just said "Now that a statement I agree with! And when you do that, you'll see that 720p is the way to go for normal people." (Also, Best Buy is pulling all sorts of other tricks in their video rooms, but don't let that concern you.)

Why do you keep doing this? My position has never changed. I stand by my assessment. 1080p is a waste for most consumers. It's correct. Just about every major HDTV site, magazine, etc. and blogging site such as engadget and gizmodo will back that up.

That being said, go to the store and give it a try for yourself. If you disagree, buy the set that matches your needs and wallet at that time.
