#1: pixelization is not a real term AFAIK. I see people use it all the time when what they mean is artifacting.

#2: I agree that some widescreen tvs have atrocious looking pictures, but it's usually not the tv's fault. its that people generally don't know how to calibrate them correctly & use the atrocious factory settings.

ok, while typing this, i looked up pixelization, it is real, just people generally use the term incorrectly when they mean "artifacting" from what i've seen.
