Contouring, the lack of detail in dark and bright regions, color fringing (single chip DLP) , and colorimetry issues as DISPLAY artifacts. The biggest problem continues to be that which Tom alluded to: It is very difficult to do a good job de-interlacing in the receiver as opposed to using a high(er) quality professional system prior to encoding for emission. It get's even harder if the receiver is forced to work with a noisy analog signal (aka cable) or a trashed MP@ML encoding that presents the de-interlace chip with excessive quantization noise (AKA DBS).
