> Well, of course that's correct. Take 1080p encoded at 100 Mbps and 720 encoded at 300 Mbps, I guarantee you that 1080p wins every time. :-)
No it doesn't. Depending on the distance from the screen and indeed the screen resolution, you won't benefit from the extra 1080p resolution, but you could benefit from the extra bits. 1080p60 is 3.7GBit uncompressed with 10 bit 444, so that's 37:1 compression. 720p60 is 1.7gbit, or 5.5:1 compression, so far fewer compression artifacts.
