The thing your forgetting is that most dvd's will look crap on big HDtv's because of the resolution of these sets. regardless of wether the dvd is anamorphic or not they will all have to be upscaled from their native resolution to fill a plasma/lcd HDtv.

Sorry to correct you, but you couldn't be more wrong on this point. The tech explanations have all been given before, so I won't bother with another one. A number of variables determine the end result picture quality on any tv, source quality being one of the most important, player quality, cable quality, and display quality and calibration. In general, most dvds look downright awesome on large HDTVs, and most all dvds are anamorphic.
