Check out these screenshots from "The Fellowship of the Ring" DVD transfer and rollover to compare them to their HD counterpart. The difference is amazing!

Keeping in mind that you don't sit as close to your tv as you do your pc.;)

At least I hope that you don't!

Definetly a difference. Seems the contrast and black levels of the HD version are off compared to the DVD. Looks less colorful and much more grey.

Some things on HD are just hard to watch. Here in DC they started the News now in HD and wow, talk about a soft focus before. I can't watch the News in HD anymore, the anchors faces disturb me :D
