Actually, I saw a blue-ray display on a something-like60" display in the 
store a couple weeks ago. It was the first big-screen display that 
didn't look (to me) worse than a smaller screen. There was grainyness in 
the picture, but I was only standing a couple feet away and looking for 
it. Much better than the blocky over-compression stuff I always see on 
the big screens.

Maybe blue-ray just has better marketing and manages to get DVDs out to 
the stores selling the players, but the compression artifacts were 
definitely better, in my opinion.
