1080p units aren't really a secret. There's a whole slew of them coming later this year. But, there's nothing to watch in 1080p. It's presumed that Blu-Ray and or HD-DVD might be capable of storing 1080p. but it's not a given at this point. Over the air 1080p is just not possible right now. Plus, unless you're within 10 feet of something this big, people question whether or not you'll actually see a difference between 1080p and 720p. I would think for computer hookup, it would be nice. About the same for HD content. I just don't see 1080p programming coming any time soon.

Speaking of HDTVs, I picked up a 50" DLP a couple weeks ago. I love watching stuff on this set. Once you get HD, you will watch some pretty stupid/lame stuff on TV just because it's in HD. I didn't believe that until I had my unit a couple of days. Great stuff.


I haven't watched NYPD blue for at least 4 years and I saw the last two episodes because they were in HD. 🙂
 
WOW

We're waiting for the Sharp 45" 1080p LCD to go down in price . . .

that, and for our current TV to go bad

Guess you don't want a new tv then. I still have a 19" tv that I bought in 1982. It still works just fine.

well, we have a 22" RCA from 1982 and we bought a 45" Mitsubishi projection in 1995 thinking that the RCA would go bad soon

it's still running!! RCA made REALLY good TVs back then

however, I can see that the color quality on the projection is going down, and as soon as my parents see it . . .

new TV

well, we go to best buy every now and then for random stuff . . .

i'll drag them over to the HD section, show them what they're missing 😉
 
I could never imagine having a tv that big. I guess when you're poor this kind of stuff doesn't matter because you know that HDTV isn't for you for another 6-8 years.
 
I've been looking at getting the Sony 60" KDF60WF665 with the matching stand. Any comments on the quality of it?
