That's definitely true for people watching 1080P movie/TV content, but for a computer monitor, 1080P is a MUST. Try setting your current 21" to 1360x768. My bet is that it looks less than desirable, now imagine that about 90% more stretched out.

You don't buy a 37" to use as a computer monitor though, you buy it to watch tv and movies on, or at least 90% of the time.
Considering that in the OP he said he wanted it to replace his 21" Samsung monitor, I believe he wants to use it as a computer monitor. If you look at some of the Westinghouse 37" 1080P threads, there are plenty of people using them as desktop computer monitors at 1920x1080. 1366x768 would be a huge step down from this and in my estimation would likely be hard to bear, though I've never seen it in practice.

ppl are watching tv in 1080p now? in what country? maybe south korea...
Congrats, you caught my slip-up. I should have said all non-computer content, as in HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, video game content... but for running computer applications, you will undoubtedly notice the bump in resolution when going from 720p to 1080p when dealing with a 37" monitor.
