I expect that the vast majority also only have sound coming from the TV
My extended family is the same as described below - none are into the things
it takes to do a proper home theater.
Lots these flat even go out of their way to get full screen DVD for their
4:3 TV's
Even folks buying the flat screen and widescreen view any displayed content
with bars at the top or bottom as flawed and wasting the TV.........
I spent my Holiday at home with my dad showing him what is HDTV could really
do..
My sister still has everything zoomed, stretched, distorted... bars are
evil. it was a long week of withdrawal from my home setups - LOL
