You mention there are no other resolutions than 1080 or 720 line.
But 720 line less than a 100 more than PAL, at that res, whats the point?
The old system, NTSC was crap, have they chosen the better system this time?

But I'm more interested in the way that colour is converted, other than a difference in the number of lines, there was a HUGE difference in the quality of the colours that the NTSC (nicknamed Never The Same Colour) and PAL systems produced.
My interest is in how the colour is being transmitted on the HDTV systems, as once again, they, meaning all the corporations, haven't come up with a single standard which could be used across the world, so once again different systems everywhere.

there really is not so great of a difference between a good NTSC picture and a good PAL picture
There is.
They have managed to improve the picture over the last 15 years or so by adding something else to the signal, sorry it's been quite a while since I read about so I've forgotten what.

Also guys, have you seen PAL on PAL TV's and NTSC on NTSC TV's?

I have some imported NTSC DVD's and the difference is less noticable, but there is still a difference, mainly in the colours again.
