Hell I would hope so! 42" diagonal is about 38" wide, so you're viewing at 12*12/38 = 3.8 screen widths! You couldn't tell the difference between 480i and 1080p at that distance. (And that's the kind of distance most people watch at, and Netflix & others are targeting that demographic. It's cheap to hit 95% of the market, and expensive to hit the last 5%, so why should they bother?)
Watch it at 1.2 - 1.6x width with a good 1080p display and I bet you'll notice what SC is talking about... |
I'm not gonna scoot my couch closer just to complain about Netflix!
