Question by Shyam: Any real difference in picture quality between a 1080p and a 720p 40″ screen?
I’m thinking of getting a Samsung LE40M86BD (40″ 1080p LCD tv), and was wondering whether i will see any dfference between this tv and another 40″ LCD tv which can only accept 720p/1080i signals. I will be using the TV i buy mainly for gaming on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and will be sitting 5 – 6 feet from it.
Thanks in advance, and I would like it if you have had/ seen both a 1080p and 720p in action and could tell me whether you noticed any difference, so that i can get accurate feedback which will help me choose my TV.

You might want to head over to Best Buy or Circuit City to see the 1080p and 720p across from each other. I’ve found that there are other factors including color, contrast, and brightness that make some models different. But at 20″to 50″, I’m was only able to slightly appreciate the differences between the two.
I have a home theater front projector so on larger screens, the difference is very noticeable and the 1080p for gaming or movies is superior in my humble opinion.
Good Luck.
