Spoiler:
I think A is the resized one...the other 2 have very distinct focal points that are very clean.

looked in firefox 100% on a chocolatety 1280x800 laptop monitor :(

RE: 720p VS 1080p - can you REALLY actually tell the difference?
Edited everyone's posts to stick spoiler tags in.

Spoiler for My predictions:
A contains very visible aliasing in some locations and lacks small intricate details present in some parts of B and C.  Aliasing and details loss are both pretty "standard" results of such an operation, so I would bet my money A is the fake.
Spoiler for IRC logs:
[23:32] <zinga> http://endlessparadigm.com/forum/showthr...?tid=20694 posted, good luk
[23:34] <Senseito7> correct me if I'm wrong, those 3 images are 1080s, and 720s upscaled, right?
[23:34] <Myth0s> try to learn german then :D
[23:34] <Senseito7> why have different images?
[23:35] <Senseito7> just to mess us about?
[23:35] <zinga> 3 1080p images, but one of them is a 720p upscale to 1080p
[23:35] <gsmoke> whoa German is one of the languages i barely know a word
[23:35] <zinga> so u can't overlay the images to compare
[23:35] <zinga> since u generally wouldn't do that anyway
[23:35] <zinga> eg, if u have a 1080p source
[23:35] <zinga> ur not going to downscale it to 720p
[23:35] <zinga> (unless it's a monitor thing)
[23:36] <gsmoke> i think the B is the one
[23:36] <Senseito7> only one image looks like 1080
[23:36] <zinga> then post
[23:36] <zinga> 2 are 1080
[23:36] <Senseito7> ya but only 1 looks like 1080
[23:36] <Senseito7> xD
[23:36] <zinga> lol
[23:36] <Senseito7> ive seen much better 1080
[23:37] <Senseito7> the animation quality doesn't seem superb
[23:37] <Senseito7> and one is of a motion interval so
01[23:37] <Assassinator> images too big, my internet too spoon
[23:37] <zinga> got it from here
[23:37] <zinga> http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/trailer-page/
[23:37] <Senseito7> aaaaaaah big buck bunny
[23:37] <Senseito7> fair enough
[23:37] <Senseito7> v.v
[23:37] <zinga> lol
[23:37] <Senseito7> in A) the leaves are stupidly oversharp
[23:38] <zinga> B/C?
[23:38] <Senseito7> and distance leaves are lacking a bit of depthj
[23:38] <Senseito7> the grey dude in B looks like he's lossless
[23:39] <zinga> goes to show usual artifcats in encoding can play a role too :P
[23:39] <Senseito7> vague blocks on the right and lack of background detail indicate relative compression
[23:39] <Senseito7> but not many would notice or bother to mention
[23:39] <Senseito7> that
[23:40] <Senseito7> and with C, its a motion interval so that may bother anyone who thought he should be appearing blur-less
[23:40] <zinga> so u think B is the 1080 one?
[23:40] <zinga> interesting
[23:40] <zinga> gsmoke thought otherwise
[23:40] <zinga> hehehe
[23:41] <Senseito7> butterfly detail is superb with C
[23:41] <Myth0s> a is the 1080p
[23:41] <Senseito7> and that squirrel is greatly detailed
[23:41] <Senseito7> so
[23:41] <zinga> there's two 1080p's
[23:41] <Senseito7> C is my choice for 1080
[23:41] <Myth0s> a is one of them
[23:41] <zinga> lol
[23:41] <zinga> actually shouldn't be discussin  them here
[23:41] <zinga> o well
[23:41] <zinga> can't stop u
[23:41] <Myth0s> a and c
[23:41] <Senseito7> can't decide A or B
[23:41] <zinga> anyway going to bed
[23:41] <zinga> cya
02[23:42] * zinga (zinga@3D0C0ADA.4516643D.7D0D4FED.IP) Quit (Quit:  HydraIRC » http://www.hydrairc.com « Po-ta-to, boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew.)
[23:42] <Myth0s> meh bye
[23:42] <Myth0s> :D
[23:42] <Senseito7> they look as bad as each other
01[23:42] <Assassinator> dammit. reading all this stuff really makes me want to look at the images, but my internet just not working right now...
[23:42] <Senseito7> :/
01[23:42] <Assassinator> :(
[23:42] <gsmoke> zing bye
[23:42] <Senseito7> I HATE the As extreme sharpened leaves
[23:42] <Senseito7> which tells me what it could be oversharpening due to the upscaling filter
[23:43] <Senseito7> only thing that bothers me about B
[23:43] <Senseito7> is that the middle dude is a little out of picture
[23:43] <Senseito7> otherwise the rest seems 1080
[23:44] <Senseito7> so B and C
[23:44] <Senseito7> because A looks so fudgeed up
[23:44] <Myth0s> i say A and C
01[23:45] <Assassinator> dammit, internet is so fudgeed up right now... downloading these images at like 1kbps
[23:45] <Myth0s> lol
[23:46] <Senseito7> oh
[23:46] <Senseito7> epic
[23:46] <Senseito7> hahaha

RE: 720p VS 1080p - can you REALLY actually tell the difference?
Spoiler:
I'd go with A being upscaled, edges of the tree are pixelated to me
1080 res is important to me because it's the native res of both of my monitors. Generally what people don't notice is the difference between 1080i and 1080p

RE: 720p VS 1080p - can you REALLY actually tell the difference?
Spoiler:
I say A because you can see the separate hairs clearly on the squirrel in B and C but the grass in A lacks that much detail. Also to me the Grass in B looks better than the grass in A.
Still could be just me trying to find faults where is is none just because I expect them :S
