Sounds pretty sad.
Like a bad ebay seller, or something.
Perhaps Toshiba's superior quality will win out.
Ever seen their CRT HD / 4:3 combo TV at 37 inches?
Even better than LCD but no HDMI interface.
HD DVD on my ViewSonic 32 HDTV is awesome!
Even upconverted DVDs are awesome if they were from digital
masters... No HD version needed!
I posted a pic in alt.binaries.pictures.misc of my current testbed
setup
It is:
Toshiba HD-XA1 HD DVD player via HDMI out, set to 1080i at present
(as far as the photograph is concerned). Top of the line. $725.
Sony DVP-NC675P CD/DVD Progressive Scan 5 disc multichanger, via
component out jacks in Progressive mode. Nearly as good as it gets in
the industry for your basic consumer. $120.
Unrelated gear:
USDigital HDTV Off Air Receiver/RCA "Rabbit Ears" Preamplified
VHF/UHF Antenna.
Super fast, home built PC: AMD 3800+ X2 64 Bit Dual Core, NVidia

Then, I want the new Creative Labs Pro Level Sound Card.
I don't want much...
If these kids today can have the latest and greatest cell phone or
gaming platform, I can have a few adult toys. I prefer to waste my
money on these "high end" gotta have it now toys.
I had Laser Disc, then DVD. I can have this.
You all can sit back and watch the world go by if you want... not
me. I'll watch it go by in the highest res I can, thank you.
