The old system, NTSC was crap, have they chosen the better system this time?
Uh, you've already been told a few times what the system is. It was choosen quite some time ago. And before you judge 720P maybe you should wait until you see what it actually looks like?

[QUOTE=Skiddins] 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.

I never saw any color difference bewteen PAL and NTSC. What should I have been looking for?

Well at least resolution wise it appears the wolrdwide standard will be the one used in America.

Sorry, I'm being honest. I never saw any huge difference.

Yes. As I already said I lived in Germany for a few years and I am American. I have seen both systems and see NTSC every day.

What's the difference?
