Should I get this 720p scaler or a 1080p scaler?
The answer lies within how large your HDTV is. If you can honestly tell the difference between 1080p and 720p on your HDTV, then get the
Atlona VGA to HDMI with 1080p scaler. In general we'd recommend 720p scalers for HDTVs less than 37 inches. If you're planning on reading text from your VGA computer on your HDMI TV, then 720p might also be preferred because it will make the characters large enough to read from across the room.
