This is true, but at a 7-10 foot viewing distance on a 32-37" screen, it's 
pretty much impossible to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p.  I 
would personally suggest a larger screen for that viewing distance and stick 
with 720p.  You can find 42" DLP's for under a thousand if you shop around.
