I'm totally in agreement. Why do we need HD anyways unless we're trying to
zoom in on a bug or a flower? After all, going from 320 lines SD to 720 was
a marketed improvement (like ~125%) but from 720 to 1080 for what? 50%
better than absolutely beautiful? geez, for one we're not going there.
like said above, why spend $7,000 plus for what appears on the screen by the
average consumer as about a 5% improvement (that's what on the street
viewers report) :o(
