The only people that are saying otherwise are people that have never truly experienced HD. It's not a fad that's disappearing anytime soon. The prices of HDTV's are dropping daily. You don't believe me, check out your local best buy or circuit city. Or, you just may be content with your 15 year old 19" console tv...
Get with the times people!

No, I don't live in the poor house.. but seriously... what if I did? You need to be a little more sensitive the the variety of people in the world.
Anyway, and also in reponse to antwamp, I have seen HD. I just find that the increase in picture quality is not really necessary. True, it may become a standard in the future, but for me and those that I know it is not something we would like to run out and buy. Considering I know so many who have very little knowlege of anything technical, I could make a pretty good assumption that a majority of the U.S. don't currently see HD as something major yet.
As for the 'experience', I will leave that to the theaters to provide.

I realize that so many are not as interested in the 'latest and greatest' untill it transparently integrates itself years down the road. It may be hard to accept, but thats what happens. Not everyone is a CS major or seriously interested in technology. Period.

Not everyone cares enough to upgrade when they don't see a need. There is nothing worth watching, and my opinion is shared by more people than you think. Can I afford an HDTV? Yes pretty easily, since as you said: the prices are "dropping daily". Would I spend any money on one? No, my normal def TV works perfectly. Your insinuation that someone must be poor because they don't own a non-necessity is moronic at best. I honestly disdain those that try and play "holier-than-thou" because they dive into the newest fads, tech or otherwise early, and thumb their nose at those who do not follow. People have different priorities, and it so happens that television is not one of them for everyone. While HDTV may not be a fad any-longer, it is definitely not the standard. More people own SDTV's than HDTV's, don't even try and argue that point, and most channels are SD still. You both come off as one of those stereotypical snobby valley girls on some lame tv show that laughs at the girls who don't follow the latest crazes. Its a weak analogy but it was the first thing that came to mind when I read the posts made by the two of you. Seeing how you both put so much importance on TV, I'm sure you both know the type of character I mean...maybe you both idolize her, who knows, but I wouldn't doubt it. The quality of the image means nothing when the content isn't worth watching, until that changes, I will not buy an HDTV. | |
