Thanks

There is a chart, I've found it searching avsforum before. Basically you are correct. I sit 15ft away from my tv right now and it's a 46". It would not matter if it was 720p, 1080i and 1080p the PQ diff is negligible. Now if you sit 6 ft away from a 60", 1080p is the way to go. Long story short, if you are on a budget and sit a good ways away, 720p is fine, if you have unlimited funds buy a 1080p tv and a blu ray and enjoy!

Try and find the viewing distance chart and itll help explain it.

I am adding this after reading your signature. Seeing that you have a PS3 and a 60" pioneer plasma(one of the best tv's on earth) I personally wouldn't change a thing, especially if you viewing distance is greater than 10ft.
