Yes I have read what was said and it is silly to assume that there is going to be some noticeable difference between our HDTV and yours, which doesn't even exist yet, based on NTSC and PAL differences, and because you have some people disagreeing with you. The way you are going about your argument its as if you want there to be a noticeable difference so you can gloat over it. Sorry my friend but it all comes across as rather silly.

And in professional broadcasting companies, they don't own any equipment that can transpose that badly.
You say "I doubt it," "I'm not sure," so basically you don't know, is what you are saying?

Maybe your only point of view is from cheap TVs in hotel rooms?
