That's true. It's mostly a matter of price. If the UHD set is the same price as the 1080p set at the same size, then you don't have much of a reason to buy 1080p; however, it looks like a 32" Samsung is still $500, whereas a 720p set would be under $200, so I can't see paying more than double when the UHD isn't going to give any added benefit.

That's a problem with UHD, too. Many UHD Blu-ray movies are simply upscaled from 1080p, and the palette has been tinkered with so that it looks different from the Rec.709 release, even though it's not actually a wide gamut or HDR source.
