Even if the color and brightness/contrast HDTV picture
adjustments are set properly, much of the benefit of HDTV
can be lost if the sharpness/detail control is set toward
soft.

I wonder if HDTV set users will set the sharpness/detail to
soft to try to minimize the visibility of picture "blocking"
caused by too few bits for MPEG.
