Inumerable times 480I and 1080P displays of good quality have been set up side by side and the average bear is unable to tell the difference from a normal viewing distance. This has been a hard sell from the word go and has contributed to the long delays in adopting new standards. On top of that the movie industry is terrified that they're going to lose control of media distribution just like happened with CDs and music. I have had a 480P plasma TV for years and it meets all my needs. Until somebody shows me a huge improvement in the content of the material being shown on network TV, I'll keep what I've got. The whole HD-DVD and HDTV deal is much ado about very little and they're having a hard time getting this albatross off the ground.
