Question about HDTV resolution.

Okay, here's my situation. Just yesterday I bought an LG Plasma 720p HDTV for the main purpose of playing 360 games on. The reason I made this decision is because I know that 99% of the 360's games' native resolution is 720p. I also know that the general consensus is that games will ultimately look better played at 720p because at 1080p they are simply upscaled. My question is this: does an xbox 360 game with a native 720p resolution played on a 720p TV look the same as a the same game with same native origin played on a 1080p TV with the 360's options set to 720p or will one have a superior image to the other? If it helps, my TV is 50".

Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

720p on a 720p TV will look a bit better (from what I have read), but practically the same.

I also got a 720p TV because most games are 720p :P

Thanks for the answer. That said however, is there any positive aspects to having an upscaled 1080p image over a normal 720p image?

It isn't noticeable... Literally... Sitting on the options menu and switching back and forth between 1080p and 720p will look no different to your eyes...

The main advantage of 1080p televisions are that you can watch bluray movies in full 1080p, and games that do support 1080p will look better...
