But I am supposing on larger TVs (40+), the difference is more apparent especially with fast action scenes.
I think for still pictures the information content of 1080i and 1080p is identical irrespective of screen sizes.

O'Shag: I find LCD (or LCoS) to be stark and unnatural. I prefer DLP, but that technology seems to be dying. People seem enchanted by the "hang it on a wall" thin.

Maybe the organic LED will prove to be the inheritor of that CRT color smoothness and contrast. The older quite expensive plasmas seemed more film like than LCD to me, but price pressures have reduced the picture quality while keeping the other plasma limitations.
