And yet, when I've been in France and looked t soome of the demos in Carrefour or Auchan I can see wonderful detail when they are playing a (presumably) Bluray disc.

Could it be because the disc was outputing 1080p and most TV HD is 720P?
Thank you for your reply, thank goodness I am not the only one to notice how wonderful hd television could be, but isn't. I have emailed Panasonic on the problem and will be interesting to read their comments. We appear to be so out of touch with hd in this country, and wonder why, unless its all geared for Rupert Murdochs services.
