Been checking them out and the display quality is=20
so indifferent that it's hard to see which are HD=20
and which are standard definition. This may be=20
the quality of the displays in the stores in LA=20
(no indication of whether the source is HD or SD=20
either).
Having been into the stores, the only sets that=20
appear to display significantly better pictures=20
are *way* too big for our apartment. Moving=20
would be a hidden cost of upgrading to HD :)
When we're ready to go HD it will be front=20
projection from a DLT (or the state of the art=20
then). But there's no rush. Nothing currently=20
broadcast in HD or available that way (that we=20
watch) is worth spending money on upgrading.
