720p or 1080p?
Should I stick with the 720p or go and get a 42" 1080p?
Answers: Unfortunately, most of the answers here are based on misperceptions and personal nouns not reality and facts. Beware.
At 10'-12' --- if you will be watching HDTV (vs run of the mill satellite) you would be better off beside a 50" 720p model (actually you could use a 60" 720p model at that distance). A 1080p model would have to be larger than 70" at that viewing distance to provide a visibly superior picture to a 720p model. Anything smaller is a throw away of money (i.e. buy 720p).
If you don't intend to upgrade to HD programming you probably don't need to upgrade to an HDTV. But if you do you shouldn't buy larger than 37" @ 720p for that viewing distance.
The push button determinant is whether you a) can see the pixels, and b) what the viewing angle will be.

Depends on the size that you really want.. 12-16' is ok next to a 42'! A 1080p is much more sharp and clear than a 720p.
GEt the 1080P, you'll love it!
42" 1080p. Big enough and better characteristic.
