Waste of time so far, literally never watched it other than to try or show someone else.
You can't buy a decent TV without it though so you don't really have to even consider it.

Is there a big diff between the 720 and 1080?

Quite a lot of pixels.
Any 50" at that price won't be amazing though so don't suppose it matters.

There's no opinion involved, there's a massive physical difference.
Whether you can see it or not is a different matter.
Do you have a 720p TV?

yes there is a massive difference between 720p and 1080, also yes you can still buy a very decent LED/LCD TV without 3D feature so John is incorrect

The only people who say there's no difference between the two will be people who don't have 1080 TV's

does xbox transmit in 720p over the component cable? if it does theres a noticeable difference between my xbox in 1080p over hdmi than my flatmates on the same tv with component, im not sure how much of that is due to resolution or if its just the cable used

Yeah can set it as that on xbox but my TV still receives it at 1080i. I've heard component cards on TVs can vary a lot so that might be it

I can't tell the difference between SkyHD and Blu Ray on the same 1080p tv.
Also, I always thought very little Xbox content (games) was 1080p anyway.

SkyHD is 1080i.
