They do take a bit of gettting used to, especially the larger screens as mpg noise and compression artifacts: inparticular blocking when you're watching football/rugby are magnified quite considerably on SD broadcasts. Most LCDs have some sort of digital noise reduction capability so I would definitely bear this functionality in mind if I were shopping for a new TV. Having said that the effectiveness of these DNR functions is relatively limited.

There is an external video processor made by a company called Algolith which is very effective at removing compresion artifacts and digital noise based on a noise reduction algorithm they have developed themselves but one of these boxes will set you back 800 notes.
