So honestly, can any of you guys tell THAT much of a difference between watching a blu-ray movie on a 720p TV as opposed to watching it on an actual 1080p TV? I mean, I can definitely tell a difference between a regular DVD movie and a blu-ray, but I'm wondering if the refresh rate is really the bigger difference as opposed to the rate of the progressive scan?
Here is my little saying as far as HD goes for the casual viewer.
480p to 720p quantum leap; 720p to 1080p hop scotch
Probably depends on the size of the TV. The bigger ones you would probably see a difference. Anything under 50", probably not.

That's my thought process as well.

I think also has something to do with getting the right size TV for the viewing distance between the TV and the couch. Some get a TV that's too big for the area in which they are going to watch TV and it just doesn't seem to look nearly as good. I definitely feel for my living room, I could use at least a 40 inch TV, but probably nothing past that.

So what do you all think about the 3-D TVs? I can't afford one right now, but if I could, do you think it would be a good investment or is it just a fad?

I say fad. Every time I have tested one at the store I am like ok am I missing something?

No doubt, getting a TV that properly suits your space is critical.

3D TV is a stupid fad. Frankly, I don't know who in their right mind would want to watch anything in 3D but once in a blue moon.

3D makes those money shots in porn a little to personal. LOL
