Comments on: Does a 720p/i TV make lower resolution videos seem clearer than watching them on a 1080p/i TV?

You are correct.

In two TVs, with the same resolution, the one with the smaller size will look sharper, because there are more pixels/constant area

In two TVs with the same size, a SD image will look better on the 720p than the 1080p because there is less scaling.

the ‘p’ in 720p or 1080p does not stand for pixel. It stands for ‘progressive’-the way in which the tv scans.

720p is approximately the same resoulution as 1080i.

1080p is about 2 million pixels
720p is about 1 million pixels

the difference is the quality of the processor of your tv. That makes
a huge difference.
