What I can see is that it's from a guy that has driven various F1

So, who had the better view of the incident?

:-)
How is the view relevant? I wasn't talking about The Incident
directly, more about Trulli and Massa's ability to judge the
likelihood of Lewis overtaking Kimi, compared to, say, Jacqui Stewart
or Dame Hill.    
BTW you should consider upgrading both your TV and your
prescription. ;)

Interesting you should say that. I finally bought a flat-screen TV by
LG. Not a huge one (I hate those damn things), just an 82cm model.
And I am so disappointed with the picture. It's a clear step down
from the CRT I had before, which had a beautifully smoothed picture.

The image is full of pixelly compression artifacts, the contrast is
artificially high, and up close the whole thing looks like they ran an
Unsharp Mask and a Posterisation filter on it. I checked various
friends' TVs and they're all like that. Sheesh.

In the quest for ever bigger ever cheaper TVs, looks like somebody
forgot that image quality counted. I spend all day examining images in
detail on high-quality monitors so I guess I'm more demanding than the
average Joe, but I had no idea how much more!

As for my prescription, you're right. Perhaps an upgrade to Premier
Grand Cru would be appropriate... :)

Maybe you need a Plasma screen? I've seen a few of those and the
picture is fantastic.

I have. it is. :)
42" Samsung. Freeview looks superb on it, as does cable. You have to
spend a while tweaking the settings from the fully saturated showroom
defaults but once done the results are excellent
.
