Hey, I'm with ya in spirit - my gf convinced me that 1080 is essential on a 40". Not having seen 720 on a 40", I'd say she was right!

I can't tell the difference between 1080 and 720 on my 38".

Real men use 1920x1200 on a 15.4" screen, bitches.

Well, your TV may have the capability of upconverting itself (i.e. my TV is 1080i, yet the screen is 1080p, therefor my images get upconverted from i to p...Sony recently was sued for this, false advertisement).

Anyhoo...None of that matters if your DVD player doesn't have component or HDMI cabling.  If it's spitting out regular ole' RCA/Composite, your TV may display it with 720/1080 lines, but it's still an analog signal.  I have noticed a difference with upconversion.  It's ALMOST as good as Blu-Ray.

Got the TV's set up this weekend... watched one of my DVD's (In the Line of Fire) yesterday with the upscaling and I was very impressed.  I am amazed how good The Simpsons and The Family Guy look with these televisions.  Thanks for the help and now I just have to wait for HD programming to come to my area.
