Anyone interested in the hd era?

I was just wondering how many people are interested in the hd era and your thoughts on it also info on sales and models (cos I can' t find anything much on it).

I found this

I think the' re are much better models out now.

I would not buy it, slow, big and very expensive. Whats the deal with the wait to open the tray!?

I dont know know why everybody wants 1080p so much. Hell, hd isnt that great. Unless you have a side by side comparsion with an sd tv.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I understand why PC monitors have to have high resolution since you sit so close to them but TV' s? Normally you should be viewing them several meters away. At such distances high-definition doesn' t really make that much of a differance.

I still don' t get the huge bulky look but apparently they have been selling ok, saying that though I know someone who has a jvc th-a75r (I think) and it' s a dvd player and thats bulky too. I don' t think i' m too much into movies enough to shell out so much for one though, maybe if the 360 add-on is ok but I don' t think it' s on my list of things that I must get.

I' m interested but not to the extent of 500$, I' ll just buy the add-on for 360 which is looking to be about <100$.

I think the add on is going to be $150. Maybe I read that somewhere, but I don' t remember. It' s a helluva lot more reasonable than $500, that' s for sure.

I' d have to disagree with Silentbomber and ginjirou, though. The difference between SD and even 720p is HUGE. I turned on the Pistons game today (They lost, dammit! ) and I mistakenly put it on SD ESPN, and I thought someone put Vasaline on my projector lens!! It' s the same when I watch a DVD. It just seems so blurry once you' re used to HD!

I' m tellin' you, once you have HD in your home, it' s painful to go back!

I agree with Chee
