@ Rab1d-BDGR...since when was 720p "very low-res"? I'm not sure what you're playing, but as someone pointed many games are 720p. Most tv stations don't broadcast in 720p. About the only people who play games consistently above that resolution are people playing PC games who spend wayyy more than a console costs, and don't typically do much else with the computer except game (ie nothing extremely productive, I realize gaming has its benefits). Outside of that, most (all that i've seen) 720p equipment also does 1080i. The human eye can't even distinguish between 1080i and 1080p after a certain size:distance ratio is exceeded, which don't take very much to exceed. The ability of the eye to see 1080p A person's ability to distinguish small details is described by visual acuity. When individual pixels are barely resolvable, increased resolution brings little benefit for the viewer unless the viewing distance can be shortened or the display enlarged. Thus for 1080p television viewing, there is a minimum size to distance ratio to see a significant benefit. The ability of the eye to resolve 1080p content also depends on the amount of contrast in the picture. For optimum viewing, it is recommended to sit at a distance of approximately three times the diagonal measurement of the screen. So whatever you're doing, it must be 4K if you're calling 720p "very low res".
