720p or 1080p?
megido-rev.M:
^ Right
Definitely shouldn't accept an upscale that's basically a resizing of a lower resolution encode.

That is exactly what I meant, actually. I was never referring to studio-upscaled stuff, which, in retrorespect, may have been what the original reference was.

Looks like half is studio-upscaled and half is native 1080p, from what I could gather from the comments.

The TS should know what does a 'true/native HD' looks like. Fine examples are Bakemono (it's like purely animated on computers), Mayo Chiki, EF Tales series. While Motto To LOVE-Ru is questionable. I had read somewhere 32" is the limit for 720p but sometimes it would go up to 60". So with below 32", 720 is good enough. Keep it in mind that you must be 5 inches away with a 42" or larger screens (I can't imagine doing that so I stick with 32") in order to see the 1080p goodness. Though sometimes I do not follow this rule on bbt, because 1080p is freeleech :P Just download what's best for your hardware, what you download today, doesn't matter in the future with today's pixel count and I don't think I'll re-watch a certain series again after 5 years when I buy a new hardware.
Saras:
My 15'6 laptop has a 1080p display and personally, I can't for the life of me make out the difference while watching something with as little detail in it as anime if I'm not explicitly looking for them.
I'd say that unless it's a >20 inch screen, the difference between 720p and 1080p is mostly negligible and serves only as a placebo.
