We have a a 28 inch tv. It's about ten years old, a Panasonic LCD, and we've always been fine with it.
Anyway, it was sold as HD ready in the day, which actually means it can do 720p and 1080i (not 1080p).
I've always run it in 1080i, because obviously the bigger number is better right? Last week I stumbled over some YouTube stuff that earnestly told me that 720p was in fact superior to 1080i for reasons I forgot as soon his lips stopped moving, and I should switch immediately.
I switched it to 720p, and I have to say that from two feet away it's almost, with a following wind and some squinting, possible to tell it's a hint sharper. Perhaps.
But we still think it's a great picture and are happy with it, viewing from ten feet. Mind you, neither of us have ever actually seen 1080p in action, never mind anything else.
If we can count the hairs on David Attenborough's head (six I think) then ok, and we can. Good enough.
