My own home theater
I own a nice 30 inch samsung hdtv set. I have been engoying hdtv since Jan 2003. The set was 1,000. Total home theater cost about 3,000 between the tv, dvd player, 7.1 reciver, sacd player, and directv hd box. It could have been done for about 1,000 less but I would rather invest in quality now for stuff used everyday. Also the set was calibrated. Calabration is a must to get a proper signal from any hd set. I wish all programing was HD. I am glad the fcc made a website that is non confusing. It coste taxpayers little to do so since they would have used a contractor that is allresdy on the payroll in charge of maintaining gov web sites. Too many people are given bad advice about there HD equipment and programing options. I have herd that one in 5 homes in the US has an hd capable set, but only 5% have the proper equipment to view HD content. What good does having an HD capable set with analog cable or a dvd player hooked up to it? None in my mind. I am an early adopter on tech. I have had broadband since 2000. I was spoiled by having broadband in college in 95. It was 600k but in 95 that was very fast. |
