Maybe it is a function of the sharpness of LCD because all of the films were on LCD and not plasma. I sure hope I don't regret getting an LCD because of that. I may try cranking the sharpness way down when my TV arrives (hopefully this week!) and see if that lessens the effect...
@ssj12 -- currently all movies are stored as 1080p/24. The content on both formats is stored identically... maybe one day that will change, but for now, they are the same...
