With Full HD you can also show still photos much more nicely and use it as a computer screen. Personally well worth the money.

Even if you have 20/20 vision, your eyes can?t distinguish the pixel size of 1080p vs. 720p on screens of 42 inches or less." <br /> The difference between 720p and 1080p sources is easily distinguishable on a good 1080p set or a 1920x1200 monitor. In fact my wife and both kids can see the difference immediately. On a 720p or lower display yes, you are correct. “Eyesight is ultimately what mocks the Full HD hype.

In the HD format there is also 24 fps not just 30p/60i fps. I'm not sure that it's a proper broadcast frame rate but you see it on set looking at the preview monitors which are vibrating at 48hz. As for the better resolution making things look sharper, I find that it's the larger colour range that increases the detail. Once you see footage in 4:4:4 colour in the studio, regular TV doesn't look the same and from what I've seen from HD players they are really pushing the colour through to make it detailed and vibrant.
