So you're saying if you walked into the bar and switched it from  
stretched 4:3 SD to 16:9 HD, the whole bar would say, "I don't see any  
difference" or that if they had 16:9 HD and you switched it to 4:3 SD  
stretched no one would complain that it looked better before? I *dare*  
you to do that during an "important" game. :)
