all i can say is never really noticed the differance before... but $h!t
it's amazing... the first dvd played on it "Alice in Chains unplugged"
this thing kicks a$$.

i'm on a mission to get one in every room.

Yeah man! Congrats there. HDTV is amazing...wait till you see a true HD broadcast. I actually bought an antenna and am getting HD signals right from the air for FREE!! Watching the PATS game today in HD through the antenna.

[Shawn Lutz]

yeah..I only have one 55 Sony HDTV set...once you go HD its hard to look at anything else. Also...the free over the air HD signals blow away anything on DirecTV or DISH.

Whtch, hockey of football in HD and you have a hard time watching standard def

the first dvd played on it "Alice in Chains unplugged"

I got a 50" plasma in the front. I saved the Dream Theater concert broadcast in HD. That looks amazing. DVD's look slightly better in 480p but, damn....

I am going to be investing in a HD-DVD player pretty soon. HD-DVD is going to have Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Matrix series Blueray seems to not be doing so well even though they are advertising the shit out of em. HD-DVD is also backwards compatible with DVD (HD-DVD on one side of the disk, DVD on the other). Plus HD-DVD's and players are more reasonably priced.

ok tell me about free hd signals
i'm guessing local network signals... would that be right?

[Shawn Lutz]

yeah, local over the air feeds so you'll need an antenna. You'll also get the local digital feeds along with their ancillary channels

some stations have multiple hd chanells and programing. We have one station in phoenix that has 5 differant HD chanells beside thier analog chanell. We got a Mitsubushi 42" plasma and I purchased a HD antennae and was stunned when I first turned on the tv and saw all the extra stations. Needless to say I'm spoiled and have a hard time watching analog anymore. I love 1081i it's like looking through a window it's so clear and life like.

I will be watching my SD Chargers end the Patriots season today on my 48" 1080i HD. The wife and kids will be gone all day. It will just be me and my Charvels (for use during commercials).

[rjohnstone]

Now wait until you see a 1080p broadcast.
That's the shit.
Only a handful of stations in major markets are broadcasting 1080p right now. Non here in Phx yet. All of them are 1080i.

[Cleveland Metal]

Nothing like watching really crappy local programming with a stellar picture...

Somehow, I'm envisioning infomercials and Jerry Springer in High Definition, hehe...

HD is amazing. 1080P with Bluray or HD DVD is so sweet.

[OnlineStageGear]

HD is sweet, but I won't get one till they make thier minds up on what resolution and format they are gonna use. For now, my 50" standard resolution TV is just fine.

I was that way but pricing is cheap enough. Nothing will ever be a standard they will push and push keeping sales at a constant.

Oops. Maybe next year then.
