My wife and I stopped by the Big Picture here in Denver. I wanted to show her the latest HDTV, LCD projector, and plasma technology. I had been there several times already. She has a good eye (and ear) and immediately started pointing out artifacts on the most expensive plasma's in the store. She convinced me the Sony LCD rear projector looked as good or better than plasmas costing twice as much although the LCD was not as bright. Back to resolution, how much resolution does a set have to have to avoid the shimmering that occurs when lines get close together? I'm talking about window blinds, plaid and striped jackets, etc. All the HDTV's still showed these resolution faults even though maxed at their highsest broadcast resolution.
