How big of a screen do I need to display true HDTV?

True Pixel HDTV and Plasma Screen Televisions

When buying a plasma screen television, you have to realize that only the largest screens can produce true-to-life HDTV resolution. The standard resolutions for HDTV are 1080i (1920x1080) and 720p (1280x720). Both these resolutions can usually be displayed on a plasma screen television of any size. However, if you want true pixel-to-pixel matching of signal and display, you have to go with a larger plasma screen television. Only screens of at least 50 inches physically have the number of pixels to display HDTV signals in true size.
