 DW> Yeah, pretty much all of our "local" stations are in 720p (the ones from

 DW> 1080i, both OTA and cable networks. I think that must be a limitation of

Yeah, one instance is where a higher-resolution screen might show some flaws that might not be as visible in a lower-resolution screen.  Some of it might be artifacts of upscaling though (i.e., a 480p video looks good on an older CRT but might look a little fuzzy when upscaled on a 4K TV).
