This may be a bit off topic but I am getting a 58" panasonic plasma and it supports 720p/1080i.
My viewing distance will be about 11-12 ft. Will I see any significant difference by going to 1080p if I get a 1080p display?

It will accept 720p/1080i input but, what is the native resolution of the panny?

Agreed, very funny indeed.
As usual, I have nothing to offer except for pithy comments.

You may or may not be able to tell the difference. That's all I can conclusively say.

OK, which one?
I'm looking at the TH-58PZ700U/750U.

Here is a viewing chart which shows optimum viewing distances for 1080p and 720p. Based on this chart, at 11 to 12 feet from a 58 inch screen, you'd be just at the optimum distance for a 720p HDTV (136.51 inches = 11.375 feet). The optimum seating distance from a 58", 1080p set is 91.01 inches or 7.58. I doubt you'd gain anything by going 1080p. IF you expect to never sit any closer to the screen, you could save money with a 720p HDTV. Here are a couple of more tutorials to consider before making your decision.

So using the charts, if you are sitting 11-12 feet away, you could go with an 84" to 92" diagonal 1080p display! Or if you want to go 720p, you would be at 56" to 61" diagonal. I have a front projector that does 720p at 104" and I think that it looks amazing at about 14 feet.

AT that seating distance I vote for “NO”, you wont see a difference in pixel structure. I’d be more concerned with color and contrast.
