Re: the HDTV difference disappears after 9 feet.  The question 
is: how many people watch TV from over 9 feet away?   Many
Americans, at least, watch from far closer than that.  In
fact, I suspect many Americans watch TV from closer than
five feet away.  

So to many of us, HDTV might make a significant difference
in picture quality.
