I have a 46" RP HDTV (1080i) and I sit about 9' away. I have a hard time discerning between 720p and 1080i, but I do notice a small difference. I suppose if I sat closer I'd notice a larger difference. I notice a HUGE difference between 480i and 1080i. Sometimes I use my 480i DVD/VHS combo player because I hate when an old DVD gets compressed too much and let me tell all of you it looks nearly bad as a VHS tape.
