Expert Interview: 720p vs 1080p

Ultimately, there are no hard and fast rules—the most important thing to do is demo, demo, demo.

I hate to say it, but the guy gives a very "non" answer... he should be a politician...

I think he gives a very balanced answer; it depends on what you are using it for.

The most poignant snippets for me were the hierarchy of feature importance:

1. Contrast Ratio/Dynamic Range
2. Color Saturation
3. Colorimetry/Color Temperature or Grayscale
4. Resolution

and the comparison of 1 and 3 chip processors:

With the current market, at the same price point the decision is often between single-chip 1080p and three-chip 720p projectors. Because it has no color wheel, the higher color accuracy of three-chip technology may very well outweigh the enhanced resolution that comes with 1080p.

If a person giving you advice doesn't take into account your viewing importance, then they are probably trying to sell you something that they have...
