Is the reason SD looks so soft because the new HD TV's are trying to upscale SD?
This is after many hours of testing the only conclusion i can come to. Looking at my glass CRT TV all looks good, when looking at my HD TV all looks soft.

I'm all worn out trying to find a soultion so.....I surrender to the pixel god of HDTV.

Of course, if you look at a picture that has a resolution of 720x576 (in my case, from PAL land) on a tv set that has the same resolution, everything will look sharp. But if I edit the same images on my high definition computer monitor, suddenly, it all doesn't look so good anymore.

If you stretch a picture to twice it's original size, it will look softer also.
