I mean, I know 1080p is the Creame de la cream of the HD settinbgs, but how much better is 720p compared to a 480i/p Set? I want to make sure I got my moneys worth when I bought my 720p HDTV for my PS3 gaming and Blu-Ray viewing.

The difference between 4080i/p and 720 is immense, upgrading to 720p is definately worth the money. 1080p is hard to differentiate from 720p unless your screen is like 48" upwards.

No comparison,
that's like asking "Is a brand new Impreza WRX STi better than a 10 year old hyundai with no engine."

There's such a huge difference between 480i and 480p, and yes, 720p is seriously THAT much better.

It's 1.5 times better :) Seriously, 720p it's amazing compared to 480i. Plus, the widescreen ratio makes a world of difference, too.

480 - 720 is an amazing upgrade, you'll be the pooping in your pants. But 1080p isn't worth it on a screen less then 40+in.
