Thought I'd post and ask here as there's many uber-geek HT freaks here :)

Basically I'd like to find some true HD videos available for download
(preferably free) that I can run on my HTPC, just so I can see what my
new screen is really capable of...

No need for massive files or full length features, just something that
runs for a few minutes would be fine (although I'll take what I can get).

I've done one search but not really come up with anything of use.

Also, possibly an optimal media player for same... I normally use Media
Player Classic for all video files, not sure if it is suitable for the
above?

TIA for any good suggestions.

Here you go, this should keep you occupied for a while.
Hope you have broadband.
Make sure you have the required version of media player.

If you liked The Fifth Element, there's a 720p high-definition WMV
version on bitTorrent. It's worth the wait for the 4+ GBs of download, IMO.
