Oh yea, well can you imagine not watching Star Trek, return of the Jedi, or any number of other high action films or shows that require high resolution? Just because Married with Children happends to be your favorite show does not mean we should not have a 2 mega pixal standard. The typical resolution of 35mm is about 10000X8000 with about 7 bits per primary. I can see the improvement that 70mm brings and I don't even have 20/20 vision. I would like to see the day where I can own a wall sized flat LCD television with 10000X10000 resolution. The Japanes already have picture frame LCD sets that have 1100 lines of horizontal resolution. Its a damn shame we have to live with such an old outdated standard.
