No matter how many times I read something like this, it still shocks me. My first hdtv was a rpcrt 55", and I currently have 90 and 106" front projection displays, so thats my only experience with formal hdtv's, and I just dont have any experience with anything as small as you have. But I do own a 21" lcd computer monitor. If I set it at 1280x720 and playback a wmv 720p file, and then play a dvd with one of the best players on the market, Theater Trek, the dvd looks way lower in not only resolution and clarity, but in color accuracy and saturation, and its apparent even when viewed from 7-8 feet away! Dont mean to be insulting, at all, but are you positive you have everything set up correctly? HDDVD, literally, set a whole new bench-mark for my system (and I was a long time hdtv subscriber before i ever got a hddvd player), so Im shocked when someone says they dont see a diffence between a next gen format and dvd, regardless of the display size or type they might have.
