between 720p and 1080p at screen sizes less than 50" unless you're
really close to the screen. And I expect my viewing distance to be a
little above average for a 42" set. Most recommendations I've seen
have said that all other things being equal, you should save yourself
that extra $200 and stick with 720p at 42". Your comparison between a
37" 1366x768 and a 30" 1920x1200 doesn't seem like a fair one because
they're different sizes.

Thanks, that's a good point. I'll investigate that on the TVs I'm
considering. Perhaps a programmable remote would be a reasonable
solution if I really like a TV but its remote is missing this
feature.
