Higher resolution screen, or faster frame rates?

This quick diagram and post from Anandtech via Engadget caught my eye. IPhone4 has a higher resolution screen, but an extremely low video frame rate. Personally, I know that when I use my netbook to watch videos, I have the jaggies to look forward to. And my 720p plasma at 600hz looks far better than my friend's 1080p at 60hz, of course there's a lot more to why plasma looks better than LCD, than refresh rates.

Point is, I don't like the jaggies, so I'd go with the higher frame rates than higher resolution, especially if I'm wanting to watch video.
