Does upscaling hurt blu sales? You bet your ass. But thats because of ignorance, and extremely loose industry definitions of what constitutes "HD", and certainly not because blu is any less apparent to 720p display owners

There are published reports about what items are most important for good PQ and I think resolution is 4th on the list. That doesn't mean a 480i display is almost as good as 1080p, but rather that once you have a HD displays, the differences between which resolution of HD your display has it is not as important as 3 other items.
