Standard dvd's look amazing on my friend's 60" sony lcd (being played on a bose dvd player with 5.1 in case you were wondering). Heck, even on my other friend's zenith lcd over coaxial they look frickin' amazing!
SD DVDs, compared to hi-def content, don't look that great to me either and I have a 50" 1080i HDTV. You don't have to be a super uber videophile to notice the difference. 1080i or p material just looks a lot better than 480i material. I personally don't have a huge problem watching my SD DVDs on a 50" TV though. I would rather watch hi-def discs and it looks like that day is finally getting closer.

Good movie.

I was just contemplating if I should try to get Blade Runner in HD-DVD, because it might be cheaper now, and easier to rip. My wife and I are planning to buy a Hi-Def TV in the next few months, and I'd rather have a dedicated server for Hi-Def video than buy a player.
[EDIT] LOL, just checked Amazon. The HD-DVD version is a few bucks more. Go figure.
