The "correct" answer is to get a proper television set with a full box
of glass and air behind it, decent contrast and dynamics, and no fancy
video processing nonsense ;-)


In time - I hope - the alternative proper answer will be that the makers
of
pixel-based screens actually give them the same number and arrangement of
pixels as the images, and can update pixels without so much faffing about
'processing'. But as yet, I'd not hold my breath. Too many 'HD ready'
(i.e.
not actually HD) screens to shift out of the warehouse before that...


That would be a lot easier if all images had the same number and arrangement
of pixels, but the chance of that happening any time soon is minimal. Even
with a "proper" television set with glass (but no air, the CRT contains a
vacuum) a lot of "faffing about" is needed to cope with different aspect
ratios etc.
