But what happens when you've got a 120" screen at 720p? Twice the size at half the resolution? That can't be a good combination.
For the record, I like AVC encodes too, though I'm not sure about MPEG-2.
As far as a general feel goes, I get a the same feeling from both, but to be fair, I haven't seen enough of BDs since there are very few I want to own. HD DVD seems a bit more consistant, but the same caveat applies.
Outside of The Fifth Element, which is very good and comperable to Chronicles of Riddick on HD DVD, my other BDs are average. BTW, of the seven I have, two froze up on me and one won't play at all. So much for being more reliable.
enjoy,
Jack
