On a pixel based image there is not any way to make the picture look better sans improving the color spectrum. How are you supposed to make 1366x768 look better than 1366x768? Only increasing resolutions would help, but 1920x1080 does not look any better than 1280x720 until you get up to more than 50 inches really (unless you are sitting too close), and 3840x2160? There is not a way to even get that to a screen right now sans 4 DVI cables, much less anything to store it, or broadcast it, and the 150" Panasonic using it did not look that much better than the 1920x1080 103" screen at CES. So unless we are doing 150" TVs in everyone's house, higher than 1080p doesn't help.
So all they can do is improve color contrast, which is really pointless to do anymore with LCDs considering OLEDs will be out by 2012 or so, making both LCD and Plasma irrelevant with their extreme contrast and lack of glare, plus incredibly good pixel response times.
Investing more in contrast therefor becomes pointless, but more in slimness? That not only sells TVs, it looks damn sexy.
