Why oh why isn't PC output display ever talked about with 720p vs 1080p discussion? With the convergence of PC's and the TV...it is going to become more and more common to have PC hooked up to your HDTV. In fact a home theater PC, might become the centerpiece of your HDTV setup. Once this happens, then 720p vs 1080p is not about whether I can see the difference when watching movies...it about basic PC screen real estate. The same reason why someone wants a 20" LCD over a 17". Do I want to browse the web in 720p or 1080p? Do I want to interact with YouTube in 720p or 1080p. In order to display text crisply, the resolution of the display must match the resolution of the video card output. This is why I will insist on only a 1080p HDTV when it comes time to buy. Please keep the PC usage involved in the discussion.
