How important is 1080p?

[ssmith3046]

I'm really happy that I went from 720p/1080i to 42" 1080p. I was amazed at the difference of PQ. The only way to go, for me at least.

To further show why 1080p is the 3rd or 4th most important feature you should consider behind contrast, motion resolution, colour accuracy, etc., have a look at which of the seven sets won this HDTV shootout for 2008 that Home Theater Mag did.

Of the 7 sets, 6 were 1080p and one was 768p.

The 768p set came out on top.

1080p is not the most important thing to consider when buying a TV. Far more contributes to the performance than native panel resolution.

I never even thought about that. Thanks for the enlightenment doby.

From what make/model to what make/model? I'm sure you have a much improved picture, but more than likely it is due to many other factors than simply resolution.
