In this aspect, it's quite true though I will say that it's 40" and below, there is no clear advantage for 1080p. But for bigger sets, the extra resolution does make a clear difference.

I used to have a 720p rear-projector TV and recently upgraded to a 1080p plasma. The difference in PQ is significant. And btw, my TV is 63".

well, regardless like i said, size and distance.

never heard of 720p being phased out. where did you hear/read this?
