Re: The HDTV Thread

I want my TV at eye level, not 2 inches from the floor.

I meant you can put the damn things on a table.. Like I do.. or hang the thing on a wall..

Did anyone else have a mental image of DDS hammering a nail through the TV as he tries he hang it up?

Wait...you mean.....

I tried to find a handy picture to go with it... didn't work.

Note to the wise, having Hammer and Nail in a google image search is a bad idea, even if the word TV is also in there..

Re: The HDTV Thread

you'll never notice the difference.. but your a man so the best is always what we want

Well, he would notice the difference if he was playing video games (DDS?) two inches from the screen.

You have to be some sort of freak to notice the difference between 1080p and 1080i.

Personally I think one needs an oscilloscope to do that.

Re: The HDTV Thread

Until at least 80% of the channels are broadcast in HD, I won't be upgrading.

A waste of money IMO.

But, to help you out Traxy, my brother just purchased a Pioneer Elite 42" plasma (approx.$4000), 1080p. And my friend just bought a 46" Sony Bravia, (approx.$4000), 1080p.

We all agree that the plasma looks better. No question.

I use to think that way. Watching sports is 10 fold better with HD. Once you discover what you were missing you ask yourself why you took so long.

Re: The HDTV Thread

I want an HDTV for gaming, but IMHCO they are still waaaaaaaaaaay too expensive. $2k + stand + HD receiver + warranty + GST = $3k per TV at least.

No effin way!

I got my second 40 inch Sony HDTV LCD flatscreen for $1699.00 boxing day. It was $800.00 smackers off that day. It is worth every penny.

Re: The HDTV Thread

I don't really understand that logic, but I guess maybe it depends on what you watch? All the shows I watch are in HD. Most NFL (and CFL) is now in HD. The only thing I watch these days not in HD are Oiler games.

Definitely not a waste of money for me.

But we have far more Oiler games this year in HD than we did last season. Last season we only had three games in HD.

CBC has really stepped up to the plate in this regards. I just wish Pay Per View and Sportsnet would get with the times.

Alot of stations need to step up to HD. I watch alot of movies and sports in HD, and when I watch regular TV is looks so terrible in regular def. I guess I gotta that HD cable box

TV programs aren't so bad but I hate sports when it isn't HD. By 2008 all US channels will be HD. The CRTC had a mandate for the same year but I hear they have backed off of it.

Re: The HDTV Thread

HDTVs are still too expensive. When they become more reasonable, the I will buy not one, but two.

the US has a mandate to ditch analog signal by the start of 2009. Digital doesn't necessarily mean HD.

Canada will be there by 2011. That date will no doubt get advanced.
