1080p vs 720p Shootout - They look the same!
I stumbled upon this awesome thread. About 40 people in Athens took two Marantz(a very nice high end brand) projectors. One was 720p and the other was 1080p. They set them both up to play on the same screen with a 1080p signal coming from identical PCs going to both projectors.
130" screen at 12-13' away and people were mistaking the 720p projector to be the 1080p one. In essence, the difference was negligible.
The conclusion is that it's better to buy a top of the line 720p display than a 1080p display that's not top of the line. The 720p display will have better processors and internals and is thus a better buy as the difference in resolution is nonexistent.
