yea I guess actual results depend on the display and the eyes watching them. I haven't seen it, but what I'm hearing here is that fancy up-scaling can add enough detail to a low-res source so that when it is rendered by a high-res display you really do see additional detail, for example distinct blades of grass that were not in the original source, facial features, sharp edges and distinct lines, etc. and that this upscaling allows you to sit closer than my minimum distance calculation (using SD resolution) would predict. It would be nice if the magic would apply to SD source content coming from Sats too!
