720p. You'll regret not getting a 1080p even if you don't ever see the resolution. -- nm

the dude at the store said below 40" you can't see the difference.... -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 16:37 11
- it's fairly noticeable on my 32" -- nm - mafic Jul 21, 16:48
- FWIW, I've found I can but I have 20/10 vision. If you play videogames, I think it's a significant difference. - David Jul 21, 16:42 7
  - it'll be a TV for the bedroom so no games and won't get a whole lot of use really... -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 16:44 5
    - Do you watch a lot of tv in the bedroom? -- nm - David Jul 21, 16:46 4
      - not really, my wife maybe an hour or two in the evening...it'll blow the doors off the 25 year old 19 incher we have right now I figure :) -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 16:47 3
        
        This is very true and I can relate because we ditched a 24" tube tv for ours. - David Jul 21, 16:57 2
        
        Upon reflection, I'd probably rule the Toshiba out. 12.5k contrast is awful. And I note that this is not the Sony we liked. It's only 720p as well. -- nm - David Jul 21, 16:59 1
        
        (but no matter what you get, it'll be night and day better than a tube tv) -- nm - David Jul 21, 17:07
  - in truth, it's 2.25 times the number of pixels. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 16:44
- thats true, mostly. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 21, 16:40
- This is absolutely true. But it's very psychological. "Oh, 720p? You couldn't afford a 1080p, 'eh?" - Mop (217 lbs) Jul 21, 16:39
I agree with this. As an fyi, we got a 32" at Best Buy last week. It's 1080p and it cost $499. - David Jul 21, 16:36
