"One of the blights on the TV industry at the moment is the big hang-up that people seem to have on resolution. It's a big bugbear of mine. All most people are worried about at the moment is that their new TV should have a resolution of 1920 x 1080. 1080, 1080, 1080, 1080. That's all some people want to hear about." Lots of things go into making a better picture like color, contrast, black levels, and other factors. Resolution is only part of the equation. People need to consider what black quality does to the overall color of the picture. Pioneer claims that if you put their 42in 720p model against other markets 42in 1080P models, the Pioneer model will be the clear winner.
