I'm not a techie, but I trust my eyes. I've had a 720p Samsung DLP for over two years now and am quite pleased. Since their 1080p models came out I've been to stores numerous times to judge with my own eyes whether these sets are better than what I have. Sadly (because I REALLY wanted to buy one)I think the 1080p pictures I see in store displays might be marginally better than the 720p set I already have, but they are definitely not significantly better. I suppose this may be due in part to the quality of the source material these sets are displaying, but if 1080p is so great then they ought to be using quality source material that lets the advantages in PQ come through load and clear. Bottom line: you guys are debating the differences between 1080i and 1080p, but I still can't see where 1080p is any better than 720p. But like I said, I'm not a techie, just making judgments based on what I can see.
