However, the scalers and other software can have big impacts on how the final image comes out with a source that isn&#8217;t matched to the native resolution (and what might contribute to SD looking like crap) and things like step artifacts. So I was wondering, is it possible to create a test DVD\/blu-ray to take into stores to see how various screens handle certain test patterns and video at different resolutions? I obviously don&#8217;t have a blu-ray burner, and I don&#8217;t know how possible it is to make a high def video clip (h.264?) on a DVD that will play on a TV, let alone one for different hi-def formats and framerates, but it could be a useful tool to make up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s only been a few days, and the only decision we&#8217;ve made on the HDTV front is to wait to see what boxing day sales bring.
