Since nothing in broadcast in highest resolution, then how would you know? Highest resolution is only displayed by DVDs.

Meanwhile, many HD broadcasters are only broadcasting a conventional low resolution screen in higher definition. We buy TVs today for the resolutions that will be future available. When those better resolutions are broadcast, then the clarity will be obvious.

Currently, most have a widescreen TV that really has no better resolution. But it is a wide screen - therefore it must be better - their reasoning. All that wide screen does in most situations is make faces fatter.
