Most people just can't see all that well to begin with, lol
So looking at a 55" picture from 12 feet away is going to look clear to them
whether the HDTV details are there or not.
HDTV resolution is best seen up close where you can see the details in
things like fine print in say a newspaper in the scene
etc...But for just plain images the human eyes blurs and makes up info most
of the time, that why only 24 fps of film looks
like a continuous moving image to us, the brain auto tweens all the missing
frames and details.

You ever see something from far away and swear it looks like something
familiar, only to discover later on when you get up
close it's something completely different? Again, the brain is making up
missing data...something mpeg can't do just yet. LOL

What was my point, oh yes...after a certain point of clarity most people
just see a great picture. or some people say.
And the younger you are the more you'll appreciate HDTV cause I think your
mind hasn't adjusted to making up details for
all those years like those who watched regular tv has.
IMHO,
