JServo, thank you. Being selective in your quotes to further your agenda is much better than outright lying.

But you forgot to quote this, which I also said in this thread:

Quote:
I wish Sony would replace my "House of Flying Daggers" with a newly mastered Blu-ray that did it justice. Like with standard DVD, both HD DVD and Blu-ray have a lot of duds with their earliest efforts.

He says it better than I ever could.

Quote:
sometimes the halos people see are the result of their own TV sets being set too sharp. Remember that first thing any television calibration guide tells you to do is turn the sharpness control way down or off. Turned off is actually the purest setting, any increase in the sharpness control being an alteration of the original image on the screen.

Very true. I've always believed that adding "information" not present in the source material by applying processing at your display is called an "artifact". Not only can the sharpness setting on a display increase the halo effect (or add it if not present), it can introduce noise in the image or exacerbate film grain/noise already present in the source material.
