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. |
