I want to do an A/B test to ascertain the best option that suits my needs. Let's get the constant factors established. The source will always be 720p content, the viewing distance will always be 12 feet. In such a scenario, which TV will serve me well? a 480p Plasma (42 inch) or a 720p LED (26 inch)?
The reason I ask is because the 'optimal viewing distance' charts suggest that beyond 10 feet, 720p content becomes obsolete in its contribution to picture clarity. In other words, I will have to be within that range for the 720p TV/content to have any positive effect. With that in mind, am I better off buying a 42 (480p) inch Plasma instead?
