Why would anyone WITH an HDTV pay $1000 for a friggin player that
has $40 worth of gear in it, and a true value of a mere $300? Not to
mention the fact that anything other than a CRT is going to have
conversions taking place to address the pixels which always results in
any fast moving scene to contain artifacts that do NOT show up in a
CRT based HDTV.
Why? Because anyone that does is an abso-fucking-lute idiot, that's
why. Let the idiots buy them, but I would let it settle out for
another year at least before even thinking about jumping on that
bandwagon. My current DVD is just fine with so many of the pressings
already in circulation.
FPDs still have not caught up to the quality of a CRT picture, and
the entire premise of HDTV was to look far better than a standard TV,
and on a CRT HDTV it does. On an FPD, I have yet to see one that does
not contain artifacts on moving scenes, and that is yet another reason
why I don't think many of you boys really know what's going on yet.
I think of my CRT HDTV and the word "awesome" comes to mind.
Even the best newer models of plasma and LCD and DLP based FPDs
cannot even approach that adjective in my book.
