Default Re: HD ready 1080p or not

It will be some time, if at all,before tv transmissions increase their definition because the greater bandwidth needed is just not economically viable.

The need for greater definition is dictated by screen size/viewing distance from the screen.

For a normal home environment, resolution greater than 720p will not be noticed unless you are very close to the screen.

By all means go for the best screen you can afford. The Pioneer range is very good and there is a lot more to a screen than its resolution. The conversion electronics play a great part in producing a good picture. That is why two manufacturers, using the same actual plasma or ldc panel can have very different picture qualities.

The following chart shows the actual comparisons.
