The big deal about this new series, XBR2, is that the native resolution is up from 1080 x 768 to 1920 x 1080

That is almost twice the resolution!

I will be able to add more once I return this afternoon after veiwing this new model.

that's no full HD!

THIS is FULL HD... NHK's "Super Hi-Vision"!:D

NHK of Japan has demoed some "Super Hi-Vision" TV running at 7680 x 4320 — 16 times the resolution of that lame old 1080i your grandparents are talking about. The demo involved a live feed from a couple of custom built cameras based around 8 megapixel CCDs, with their 24Gbps signal being chopped into 16 HD signals and sent 161 miles over a fiber optic network to the the demo site at the 2005 World Exposition in Aichi Japan. So the good news is that they can rock the live TV with this technology, but the gooder news is that this isn't even out of the labs yet, so that brand spanking new HDTV of yours won't be going out of style anytime soon:)
