I also use a 963 and a Lumagen. On both a 50" plasma and PJ the HD DVD image is significantly better than SD DVD from 963/luma IMO. The difference is greater with the larger PJ screen size but viewing distance is a key factor for both.

I was referring to the comparison with "HD disc" i.e. SD DVD v HD DVD.

The Tosh will ALWAYS win that one. No substitute for true resolution.

Just checking what we meant

I have exactly that, well, from time to time anyway, and yes, same movie, HD trashes SD, even on my 42". Still, the SD is very very good, just that, as Nic says, there's no substitute for 1080.
