720p/1080i vs. 1080p

i hear from everywhere that you wont see the difference of 1080p unless the screen is like 50"
but they're talking about the difference from 1080i, wouldn't/shouldnt they be talking about the difference from 720p also, because of the resolution.

what i ultimately want to ask is... if i'm not gonna get 50" tv, am i fine with 720p

 

Yes. The higher the resolution the closer you can sit to the tv. Thats it. The picture doesn't look so good because the resolution is high. It looks great because it was captured, transmitted, and displayed digitaly.

thanks for the reply
but i'm still not sure
if i'm gettin 20-20" tv, there is no purpose of getting a 1080p for the ps3?

 

Don't know yet. Common since tells me that the PS3 Games will max out at 1080i.

 

i really doubt that. i bet it will be 720p standard but alot of games will be 1080p.
but i wasnt just talking about the games.
ps3 is also a blu-ray investment.
u know what lets just drop that. can i see the difference between 720p and 1080p on 20-29" tv's

 

I would say no. There really isn't a reason to buy an HDTV monitor under 30" unless its for a computer.
