Quake1028

Due to my current living situation in an apartment, I am in the market for an LCD HDTV, but it can only be 32-37 inches. I could go 42 inches, but that would require an entire new setup and I don't want to really go that way. So, on a 32" LCD, the difference between a 720p model and a 1080p model is around $200. Do you think it is worth it for something that is that relatively small?

No.

Are you talking just for 32, or are you including 37 and 42 in that statement as well?

At 6', I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between 720P and 1080P on my 42" plasma screen. Only by multiple A/B comparisons can I do it. If I do it blind, a good bit of the the time 720P wins over 1080P. Leaves me very unconvinced on the 1080P on this size screen.

720 should be fine, esp when you look at pricing and see it's nearly double for 32" 1080p's.

No...720p is fine.

That's actually not true.

On a 32" I wouldn't pay more than around $150 more for 1080P. I don't think it's worth the money for 1080P with that size.

I didn't do a lot of checking, but I was seeing $4-500 vs $8-1000. YMMV.

Just wait until BF Quake...you'll find a shitload of good deals on whatever you are looking for.

No difference on a 32" I wouldn't pay the extra $

Just an FYI. You should be at 768p on a "720p" set. So, you're getting a little more "pee" than what you think.

Not really, but I guess it depends on use... Won't notice a difference on video, might on videogames, will on pc use.

It would be 60% HD DVD/BD/HD Cable 40% Games. No plans to use it as a monitor.

Save your cash and get the 720p set.

I have a 50" 720p set and it looks amazing for HD-DVD and Blu-ray. I tend to sit around 10 to 12 feet away so taking sitting distance into account I really don't see the point of 1080p.

With the size you are looking for you will be more than fine with a 720p set IMHO.

Spiky

Why? Just means another video conversion, to a res not supported by the TV world.

clappj

At 50" and larger.
At least, that's what she said.

Quake, a certain big box store on that day after Thanksgiving will have a very nice Samsung 40 inch 720p set for under $700.00 or you could get a 720p 32 inch Dynex (take your chances) for under $400.00
