Most people in the HD world are using a display maxing out at 720p or 1080i with component cables or DVI. Very few have a setup using 1080p and HDMI, and even fewer have a top-rated display.

I don't really consider 720 HD, more like Mid-def. It has half the pixels of 1080. As you have seen, the difference is quite noticeable. Remember, you'll have to sit fairly close to get the advantages of 1080. see link.

  The most dramatic improvement is the black level. I always enjoyed watching with the light on before. Now I'm turning it off and just stunned by the detail I'm seeing in darker areas of the picture. My old pioneer looked more detailed than many 1080i sets like my buddy's fujitsu.
  
  I sit about 8' away from the screen.
