I have been recoding my Blu Ray an HD DVD's to 720p in most cases, I only have a 50 inch 1080p set and sit about 12-15 feet away. I rarely see a difference in detail between 1080p and 720p.
Can I assume something like an AMD 6000+ should be able to handle them? I have been looking at upgrading my Media Server so I could run XBMC, but really want to keep the cost down.
I figure if I ever get a bigger set, I could just watch the disk to get the full 1080p. I do have some 1080p content on my server now, basically AVC Blu Ray's that are 20gb or less. It was just quicker not to recode and I have plenty of drive space currently.
