[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 16359, member: 1061"] That's not an entirely accurate statement. 1080p is full-HD. The ultimate difference will lie in what size monitor the final video is displayed on. In many cases, most people can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a 36" or smaller television. This is because the relative size of the pixels is about the same. However, as the screen size increases to 40, 48, 52, and 60 inches...the difference becomes much more apparent as the pixel size increases. Think of it this way. If you had a 99.9% white screen with a single black pixel in the center, most people aren't even going to see it on a small screen. But do the same thing on a bigger screen, and that tiny black dot gets much bigger and more noticeable. 1080p is the established standard for production video and the true 16:9 aspect ratio used in movies. This standard is being widely adopted by both computer monitor and television manufacturers as "widescreen format". I won't go so far as to say that recording in 720p would be like using 8mm, but it would be a regression in technology. [/QUOTE]
