In Reply to: 1080p or 720p for 42 inch plasma ???? posted by Ross on December 20, 2010 at 04:31:28:
persoanlly, I don't think HD broadcast, which is limited to 720p or 1040i (which is just frame-doubled 540) looks good on a 1080p display on a 42in display. Your tv will need to downsample almost all of what you say will be your primary signals and the deinterlacing insnt very good on these low end models. Either stick with the 768 display or get a bigger screen. You need to think of what the poorest signal you are likely to watch is going to look like and use that as a guide. I don't feel like I am compromised with my 768 panny in any way, and compressed cable certainly looks a lot better than it would with a higher pixel display. If you have a Reon processor in your receiver, that could make a difference though, as it would take the place of a low end chip in the TV.
