and the comments are strangely not off topic...
Normal Viewing Distance is really the essential part.
To fully notice the detail 1080p you need to sit approx 7 feet away from a 50 inch TV.
If you bought one of those 32inch TVs... Try 4 feet away. You'll only start to the benefits of 720p at 9 feet.
If you watch your TV from across a decent sized room, you need an exceptionally large screen to really soak in the benefits.
