There are most certainly common display devices in the HD display
realm that are fully capable of surpassing the best abilities of the
standard DVD. Full 4:2:2 from DVD is still lower res than many of
today's displays.

Had you remarked that being the case with any 4:3 NTSC TVs I would
agree, but my HD display device is far better than the original DVD
spec.

And yes, I have seen the IBM OLED displays at 11 million pixels, and
those ARE available to the consumer if they like 24 Hz refresh. I
have also seen displays at the HDTV showroom at General Instrument
(now Motorola), one of the primary the creators of the medium. I have
also seen a number of military displays from BAE, etc.

There are plenty of cheap, "ideal display devices" available now
that beat regular DVD.
