Well, I have certainly seen some 720P that looked MUCH better than 
1080P, both "bit width" starved and with sufficient "bit width"... :-)  
Some folks believe that 1080P MPEG2 HD requires just a bit more "bit 
width" than the available 19.39Mb/s. ;-)
I guess what I am saying is different but the same...

"720P can provide better quality pictures than 1080P", some times, under 
some circumstances. So what?!
