yeah, i saw those specs too. i'm still learning here - but would there ever be a chance - at least now, that manufacturers would make a display WITHOUT a comb filter? dvd and blu-ray don't need them. i'm thinking digital broadcast doesn't need them either?

the other nutty thing - is why do so many people say the standard def looks bad on a high def display? you'd think with modern comb filters (which are also usually line doublers, eh?) SD, like laserdisc would look pretty good. i mean a 10 year old faroudja DVP-1000 was known for taking SD to HD pretty effectively.

why can't a modern display do even better?
