I just picked a couple of examples at random, though I could have chosen this set as representative of the large size class rather than the Sharp. I don't think it matters much what they cost, though. I can't see running out to buy a 60" TV just to watch anime upscaled to 1080p.

Have you checked to see if the stream maxes out the CPU? I realize that CR is more CPU intensive than other 8 bit H.264 encodes due to my experiences with their 720P on a 2ghz single core laptop back in the day, but brining a 2500k to its knees would be quite something.
I don't have that problem either. I'm using a Q6600, and though I have an NVIDIA card, I've had to turn off hardware decoding for H.264. Adobe broke the color space in its Linux player for Flash videos using the "stage video" technology like YouTube does. (A quick test shows no such problems for Crunchyroll, so they must not use "stage video".)

Even sending the CR stream over wifi to my television usually works fine. I occasionally encounter some stuttering especially during OP/ED sequences which typically place greater demands on the hardware than the program content.
