Maybe I don't have a good eye, but still think upscaling is the way to go.
I would love to have a 2160p display so I could "double" 1080p and "triple"
720p, with proper interpolation as needed.  Plus I would have something like
4300x2160 as my desktop for not video stuff.

And it should run at 120 Hz so "pulldown" can be fluid for whatever you want
(for 24, 30, 60 fps sources)

Again, I plan to try myth on my 30 inch Dell at 2650x1600.  Anyone try this
yet?  Maybe I will just run transcoder on a 1080p broadcast to make some
1600p video... HA.
