I don't want to start a big flame war or anything but this something I really want to know before I drop over a grand on a new TV.
I've noticed a lot of commentary on the Internet how you can't tell the difference between 720p & 1080p unless you've got a 50 foot TV and are sitting 3mm away. The thing is I don't see a lot of people saying "I can definitely tell the difference between 1080p and 720p and it's awesome!".
To compound this, a friend of mine who has very similar taste to me recently checked out his dad's new 42" 1080p set and said the difference was practically unnoticeable even very close, which has got me pretty concerned.
So, can YOU see the difference between standard HD and full HD? How big is your TV? How far away do you sit? Any input would be very much appreciated.
