Apart from the sorts of people who have to ride the technology wave no matter what the expense. They'll be watching TV on their Trans-Dimensional Hyper-View CrystalVision Boxes* and sneering at the inferior viewing quality of us lamers with HD-TV.

I wasn't gonna, if all HDTV does is slightly improve picture quality then I can wait.
It's a good thing that it's much more than a slight improvement.
I'd wait too if I wasn't in the market for a TV anyway.
Besides that, bratland doesn't sound like it has much HD programming anyway which is another reason to wait.
It's better to spend another $300 for the next graphics card with an incremental improvement of 10 points in the latest 3D benchmark.

Hoi, it's only about £1,000 ($27,000) to get a wee bit better picture on the telly.
That must be well worth it, unless of course you are so sad that you don't take watching your telly that seriously.
I hear that HDTV has magical-like powers, it can take a rubbish film like Braveheart and the HD turns it into an accurate historical documentary featuring superb portrayals of the characters by talented actors and some rampant yet tasteful lesbian scenes.

I wrote out a really good reply to this post but my stupid laptop closed my browser. Anyhow, you'll have to imagine your own reply because I have forgotten what I wrote. I did use the word 'innovation' if that helps any.

That's only if you've got the most recent upconverter firmware, with the lesboid add-on, apparentement.

Indeed, who needs things like a house when you can have a telly like that.
That's it, sell your house and buy that telly.

Have you no spunk man, cash sale. It'll be ages before they find out.
Re: Don't buy an HDTV just yet
No plans to buy such a thing yet. My current TV is only 8 years old - hardly broken in yet.
The £300 rule will apply before long. That is, no matter what the innovation and how much they cost initially they will drop to £300 for the good makes and less for the unknown Taiwanese version sold in Tesco. Then is the time to buy :)
Hopefully by then they will have decided which version to go with and all the hardware glitches will be resolved.
Of course if there was much worth watching I might have a different point of view.

I'm with you, only not quite so parsimonious.
Early adopters are tits. However we need them, to fund the R&D which leads to the well made, reasonably priced goods we end up with.

Absolutely, err, isn't that what the English are for? :whistling
