I just can't get my head wrapped around the idea of not being able to see the diff between 720 and 1080. If you can't see the difference unless you are sitting right on top of the screen, what's the point of 1080? I guess I think in terms like why would bluray be 1080 and not 720 if you can't tell the difference? Must be like the HD audio is a gimmick argument.
Honestly, there's little difference. Go look for yourself. I guarantee you that you will NEVER sit in front of a 1080p movie that's being output by the ATV2 in 720p and think to yourself, "oh, wow, this is horrible." It's truly not noticeable. As to "what's the point of 1080", that's a good question. Strangely, marketing people do not want you to ask that question--I wonder why?
