The difference between 720p and 1080p ins a 32 inch TV?

Bear with me, I know this question probably comes up a lot.

I'm moving cross country in a few weeks, and sadly that means I can't take my current 32 inch LG 1080p TV. It's a 2011 model, and I've loved it since the day I got it.

However, the new LG models at my price point have terrible reviews. I did find a good TV at a good price, a Samsung 720p LED 32 inch.

So my question is, will I be disappointed in picture quality if I go with the 720p? It's a bedroom TV that I use for HD cable, Netflix and watching BluRays and DVDs.

    Keep in mind that you can not see the difference between 720P and 1080P in screen smaller than a 46". The only source for 1080P is the blu ray disc movies and some video games. 3 years ago I was in the market for a 32" LCD. I went to best Buy Buy website and read all the reviews of customers who purchased a 32". Also look at all the model that each manufacturer have on display at Best Buy, Fry's Electronic and Costco. I found that Panasonic had the best picture quality and viewing angle. I would up purchasing a 37". Last christmas I purchase 2 32" by Panasonic for my kids christmas present. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs, along with the pro and con of each technology. If you pick up a copy of the magazine and close to the back of the magazine it will list the tvs the recommend. You will notice that Panasonic has more tv being recommend than from any other manufacturer. You will not see any LG tv being recommend. If you read all the questions in yahoo all the time, you will notice that 95% of tv problems are from those bargain price tv. Panasonic is the most reliable tv in the market today, followed by Samsung. Hope this will help you out.

    Unless you get pretty close, you probably won't notice the difference.

    Basically, 720p vs. 1080p gets more important the as the screen size increases or as the viewing distance decreases.

    And 720p vs 1080p is not the only measure of a TV's picture quality of course. A particular 720p TV can have a better picture overall (black levels, response time, color accuracy) compared to some other 1080p TV.

    Education is good, because it teaches you how to learn, how to discipline your mind. Knowledge for a Christian is knowing the word, knowing your God, His nature, His will, His outlook on things. Wisdom is looking at things from God's perspective and putting them into action. Knowledge is great, but too much of it can puff you up if you don't counteract it with fruit of the Spirit. Ever know a person who's very knowledgeable, but has no temperance and no love? Their knowledge is almost useless in the long run. But wisdom? You find that and your soul shall live, because when you find wisdom, you find the way God Himself looks at a situation. Proverbs 3: By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
