32" 1080i/p or 26" 720i/p? wich ones better?

Question

I was wondering which one is better a 32" 1080p/i or 26" 720p would there be not much of a difference between a 720p TV or a 1080p/i at that size?

And i sit from 3ft to 6ft frm my tv and i mostly sit 3 ft away.

(I don't have any more room for a larger TV in my room and the money so for the most 600$.)

thank you

Answer 1

Get a 1080i/p.  These come in sizes smaller than 32 inches if you have space or budget constraints.

Answer 2

1st, if you usually sit only 3" away, the 26" will be fine, and 32" over kill. 2nd, your first poster doesn't have a clue! There is no such thing as 1080i/p or 720i/p. Its 1080p or 720p/1080i.

To the best of my knowledge, only one mfg. makes a 26" 1080p, and that's currently only being released in Japan. And only 3 I'm aware of make a 1080p in a 32". Reason: It's just a marketing ploy. Mere mortals can't tell the difference between 1080p and 720p/1080i in a screen size much less than 50", and of course witha 1080p signal input. Additionally, the only 1080p signal source now available is in BluRay movies and some BRD games.

The 2 best 26" (or 32") LCD HDTV for both performance AND reliability are Panasonic and Sony. A little cheaper, but very good is Toshiba followed, perhaps, by Sharp. You can make your $600 budget in a 26" LCD with one of these top quality brands.
