Take a resolution basically designed for a 17" screen and stretch that out to a 40 inch TV and tell me that's not going to be ugly as sin even in progressive scan. You're going to want that extra resolution at the size you're aiming for.

I am a complete bitch over image quality. I obsess over it. I am a graphics whore. I will buy and take back 42" LCDs same day if I don't like them.
I can say with 100% confidence that there is little to no discernible difference between my 50" 720p and my 42" 1080p flat panels. This is completely factored on how far away you sit from the television, however.
There IS a limit to what the human eye can notice. You must be sitting 6-6.5 feet or closer to your TV to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a 50" flat panel. 6 feet is absurdly close to me. I sit about 10 feet away and consider it the sweet spot for a 50".
For a 42" TV, you can't tell a difference until you're sitting a comical 4'11" to 5 feet away.
