We have a somehwat limited area where we could put the TV in our familly room. We also could not put it on the wall, so the stand and the TV size were major issues. The 37" was perfect. The 40" would have been tight and from our viewing distance the 720 looks just as good as any 1080 would. Sony reminds me of Apple. Always a little more expensive for a better product and a little bit of attitude. Both companies had a period where they kind of fell off in regards to keeping up with tehno chnages to lead the way, but both in my opinion have regained their positions as tops in their field. Bravo for the Bravia series.
