Does 1080p Really matter?

When your selecting a new TV, many wonder "Is there really a difference between 720p and 1080p?".Samsung LCD TV

What does 720p and 1080p really even mean?

720p:
The 720 represents 720 lines of vertical resolution (720 horizontal scan lines), and the letter p stands for progressive scan (not "720i" or interlaced)

1080p: (aka. full HD or full High Definition)
The 1080 represents 1080 lines of vertical resolution (720 horizontal scan lines), and the letter p stands for progressive scan (not "1080i" or interlaced)

So what makes a 1080p better than a 1080i?

Progressive (1080p) vs Interlaced (1080i): Progressive scan processes the images twice as fast as Interlaced. This faster scan rate makes for a picture that is more crisp, clear, and vivid.

Enjoying New York!

So we've been in Patterson, NY for 28 days so far. The weather has been different compared to back home. Lots and lots of snow, sleet, slush, and freezing temperatures. Aside from the having to get used to the weather, we are thoroughly enjoying our stay. I'll try to keep you updated.
