And I suppose you can hear an audible difference between coat hangers

Nope. Monster Cable is snake oil. Picture resolution is, uh, about as
plain as science and math gets. I was just pointing out the obvious:
humans disregard science and math in favor of emotion and snake oil.

No reasonable human being can possibly claim that 720 lines of
resolution are in any way equal to 1080 lines of resolution. It is so
utterly nonsensical that the fact that it's being debated is a tragic
indictment of human intelligence.

Again, it depends on the viewing distance!!!!!! What is so hard to
understand about that?????

Of course it depends on the viewing distance. Why not go back to your
old 27" RCA console from 1962, and just look at it from down the block?

Everything depends on the viewing distance: paint quality on your wall
or car, cleanliness of the frying pan, curd size of the cottage cheese
in Aunt Mabel's panties.

Saying the pictures look the same as long as you're far enough away to
not be able to notice a difference hardly qualifies as a legitimate
argument. What is so hard to understand about that?????

I give up. It's your money.

Here's what CNET, which I've always found to be a credible authority
on these issues, has to say on the subject:

http://reviews.cnet.com/720p-vs-1080p-hdtv/

I posted the same article, but it didn't seem to make any difference
to some people here. Seems like a lot of people are making the
argument for 1080 because they got sucked in and are trying to make
themselves feel better because they wasted their money. If you spend
enough money on a TV you will see whatever you want to see.

I love to have these "experts" do a blind video test.

hey, all I know is what I see. I am not trying to justify any purchase
to myself because I am happy with both of my TV/monitors (one a
Viewsonic 720p and the other a Samsung 1080p) but the difference between
the two is quite noticeable and if I could only keep one and had to
choose one or the other it would take no time at all to pick the Samsung.
