Too true. When playing up my DVDs these days I now encode them with
anamorphic mode and and/or run them through post processing filters to
push them up to 720p -- I just can't tolerate watching anything at a
lower resolution. Every upconverting DVD player I have tried just
comes out looking horrid. I refuse to go BluRay because it won't play
on my HTPC without considerable hacking/pain. Even Netflix non-HD
movies look soft. I cringe to think how horrid 240p would look on a
110" screen from 8ft. :-)
