How can a picture that has 2-4 times the resolution look "phoney"? If anything it looks more life-like. I have always wanted a larger picture, and High Def is the way to go to get the best picture.

No,...I didn't say that,...but,...since you brought it up,....I see no need to change the system. The picture on the NTSC sets is plenty good enough for the average Joe Blow.(including me). The picture on a HDTV looks kinda phoney to me. The old system looks more "life like". Sometimes,...progress is not always for the better. The whole direction this country is headed in, is fast getting out of hand. We are headed for disaster. IMO, LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics 97 North Main " I forgot,..to remember,..
