1080p Below 40"

[Jesse]

I used the search function. Couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm not a forum newb or anything. Please point me in the right direction if my questions have been answered already in another thread.

I've searched for what seems like over a year now on the 1080p issue across the web and I have yet to find a definitive answer to my question. Can the human eye ACTUALLY discern 1080p from 720p on sets below 40"? Or perhaps not even below 50"?

The reason I ask is because I have absolutely no purpose now or in my future for a set larger than 40". Should I waste the money on a brand new 1080p 40" Samsung if I can't even see the difference? Or should I just go for a 720p model and save some money?

Here is what I'm eyeing, if you're curious: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1205537712071
