HDTV and YOU!

Most High end studio grade HD cameras record in much higher resolutions than 1080p. They do this for many reasons, one being to stabilize the film digitally, making film prints for theaters, better visual effects, etcetcetc.

Film grain is not ALWAYS better than digital. It takes a very very high end film camera and a ton of money to match what a fairly 'inexpensive' HD studio camera can record.

Squeek is right, our eyes can only see so much. When I download movies from online rental services such as XBL, I'd rather download a 720p file and watch it sooner than waiting for a 180p video, when the quality is damn near the same.
