hdmi receivers

I've been silently observing this thread since video is definitely not one of my stronger points - but alot of very knowledgeable people here are on record saying in all but the largest display sizes, 1080p is a moot point and offers no visual enhancement over 1080i anyway.
Ronning, what size set do you have and how far are you sitting from it typically? This whole exercise may not yield any tangible reward for you...perhaps we can simplify the process?

The set is 46" and I sit approximately 6 feet away from it. If I'm watching movies, I may recline back a bit more and be 8 feet away.

1080p was the deciding factor for stepping into the HD world - I've been hanging on to my ancient CRT until just now... waiting for the day when 1080p was attainable.

I use the set primarily for PC (for example, right now browsing the forums). And games like Half Life 2 @ 1920x1080 look *fantastic*. Plus, I plan on purchasing some form of hi-def dvd sometime in the next 3 months (probably ps3).

This whole thread started because the set I finally ended up with supposedly doesn't support 1080p over component (although I can't actually test that...) and my concern that if/when I buy an Xbox 360, I won't get 1080p output from it.

Considering the games for 360, however, I think I'd rather just stick with my PC where I have a digital connection and an endless supply of upgradable technology...
