The point is good picture quality. Let's assume you have a 17" montior that 1280x1024 - do you say what's the point to that? Obviously by your logic 800x600 is better.
LOL you have zero logic from a failed analogy.
these specs are simply to fool and mesmorize the consumer into thinking they need 1080p, and they just do not, I have a 37" 1080p and even that is probably not needed, 42 plus is where 1080p shows itself.. put 2 28" screens next to each other, hook up PS3's to them, put VirtuaTennis3 or any other capable of 1080p on both, run one at 1080p and the other at 720p and you will see absolutely no difference whatsoever.
