Your thoughts on Led vs Lcd welcome.

In regard to 1080 vs 720. *The results of several tests I have
read about indicate that for TVs less than 40 inches (some say
50) you can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080. *Before
you buy compare some at the store to make sure, but it is something
you should be able to see for yourself.

do you mean 720p and 1080i, yes they are the same, not 1080p, its
double the resolution- Hide quoted text -

1080p isn't double the resolution of 1080i. Both display exactly the
same number of pixels on the screen. The difference is that 1080i
displays odd rows in one scan pass, even rows in the next scan pass.
If P in fact had twice the resolution, the difference would between
the two would be striking. In fact, P is only slightly better.

For our friend considering a 32" TV, I'd say the difference beween
720P and either 1080i or p isn't going to be noticeable on that size
display.
