This weekend, I found a 30PW633R Philips 30 inch 16:9 'widescreen' TV for $519.00 at a = national retailer that is NOT E/HDTV compatible.=20 It only accepts component, S-video and composite 525:59.94 inputs, does not have a line doubler and will not accept 480p through the = component input. I would liek to have been there when the marketing for this one was = discussed. -----Original Message----- From: opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mark Schubin Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 1:29 PM To: opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [opendtv] Re: --FCC OKs WiFi between TV channels > > >Am I the only person who has noticed that all HDTV sets (by definition) = are >16:9 and that SDTV sets are 4:3 by default? > I think you will find that virtually all 27-inch, 32-inch, and 36-inch=20 TV sets that are said to be HDTV have 4:3 screens. There is also a fair = number of larger HDTV sets with 4:3 screens. The Consumer Electronics=20 Association's definition of an HDTV set does NOT preclude a 4:3 screen. I think you will also find quite a few plasma TVs in this country that=20 are 16:9 but only SDTV. In Europe and Japan, you will find huge numbers = of 16:9 SDTV sets.
