Demande de précision au demandeur et réponse du demandeur
hirselina: 9:57am Mar 15, 2007: Sans contexte (téléviison à haute définition), vraiment difficile à dire! Qui est ce "on"?
hirselina: 9:58am Mar 15, 2007: "télévision" bien sûr!
xxxCMJ_Trans: 10:14am Mar 15, 2007: they talk about it but they're not forcing the issue

they don't go into much detail
Explication :
It seems to me that the "on" are the retailers/sales staff at the store selling the TV set.
So the person answering the question (the customer) is basically saying that the sales person did mention it but didn't hammer the customer with technical details.

Accord Tony M: Yes, 'on ne force pas dessus' — 'they don't really press the point / make much of it'
