The fact remains that on a 40-42 inch diagonal display you do
not need 720P to produce sharp images. Hook up a standard

the display, and 9 out of 10 people will not be able to tell the
difference between the two.

This chart is very misleading. It is off by a significant factor -
probably by a factor of two at the closer in viewing distances
It suggests that 720P starts to become noticeable at a screen size
of about 25 inch. This is absurd.
It suggest much the same for 1080P, starting to become visible on a
32" screen. This may actually be true if you sit 18-30 inches away
as with a computer display, but not a five feet as the chart suggests.
More important is the fact that people will not choose to sit at
the viewing distances suggested. The CLOSEST that most people would
sit to a 60 inch screen is about 10 feet, so everything inside that
distance is meaningless.
