During day I was also at shop with television sets. One which take most of my attention was Samsung 52” FullHD (1920x1080px) one — with very big contrast. It was connected to BluRay disc player with some demos and trailers. I had to admit that some of them really show what high resolution means — sharp screen, all details on furry animals etc. But some of them used a bit bigger level of compression so it was visible on 52” :(
Looks like companies which worked on HD-DVD and BluRay did not get idea that LCD technologies will go into such big screens…
