RE: Is 720 Better than 1080 in the Real World?

> It may be that Panasonic just has a better scaling routine

Maybe.
Seems like the vast majority of people who complain that SD (analog and/or digital) content looks like "crap" use LCD panels.

The OP should consider comparing the output of his existing DVD player (which would use the TV's scaler) to an upscaling DVD player (that outputs 1080i or 720p). I use a PC to upscale DVD and laserdiscs with good results; the image is softer than the best OTA HD content but it's still watchable and not "crap".
