"if your television does have a good scaler, that it may be able to take that less-than-1080p source and display it on a large screen better than a native 720p TV would due to the greater pixel density"
I have a hard time believing this. How is it possible that 720p content looks better on a 1080p TV rather than a 720p TV? While I agree that it would still look great on a 1080p TV, 1080p is twice the amount of pixels than 720p, so wouldn't there be 'blockiness' or 'pixellation'? How is that different from playing SD content on a 720p TV (which does look awful at times) ?
