I've read that it isn't truly HDTV because of the shadow mask or aperature grill doesn't allow for full HDTV resolution. Makes sense to me. I don't expect it to compare with a fully dedicated 16:9 rear projection tv, but my question is more basic than that.
with the 36XBR do you get the "WOW" of HDTV? Is it noticeably better than NTSC, or does it just look like a really good analog source? I'm interested in the Toshiba 40H80, but with the amount of 4:3 programming I watch, I don't want burn-in to become a factor. And I really don't like the stretch modes.
so the question is, with a direct view 4:3 set such as the XBR or one of the Panasonic Tau's, does HDTV knock you down?
