1080 dlp or 720???

Question

I am looking to buy a new tv and I was wondering what the difference between 1080 and 720 was? I am not familiar with it. I have digital cable and I am looking to buy between a 40" and 42" tv. I also want to know whats a good brand to buy. Thank You.

Answer 1

Just about everything in that size now is 1080p, which is very good; but in fact, for that size TV 720p is also very good.  (In fact I doubt if you could tell the difference.)  There is also very little difference between major brands--Sony, JVC, Sharp, Toshiba, LG, Samsung are just a few.  I think Sony, Sharp and JVC are the best, but many others like LG and Samsung.

Answer 2

1080 just means that there are more lines of resolution (the amount of pixels on the screen). so the 1080 would look better then the 720.

Answer 3

Most tv brands out there are good for example ilo and vizio are good. and the 1080 and 720 are the picture resolution the higher the better. 1080 p is the highest and best at the moment
