is 1080p Marketing Hype?

And here is a calculator for figuring out the optimal size and distance:

They list progressive on the image because it is the best quality. For interlaced, although distance can effect this as well, it is a side effect of the distance. If you view an interlaced image far away, it is still interleced, just harder to tell. But the image is still 720 or 1080 so you will be missing details if you are too far away.

No hype about interlaced and progressive there either. The viewing distance and size determines the best resolution, not interlacing.

All linear graphs are theoretical, and not experimental values..
