Do you own an HDTV?

No. I don't spend enough time watching TV to justify the expense. As soon as my current boob tube breaks, I will forgo the opportunity to replace it. The only reason I have one at all is that my wife and 10-year-old son insist on having one. They seem to think that they have time to waste. I don't. When I have free time, I prefer to read books or take a nap. Most television programming is for idiots, and the good stuff rarely appears. If I want to see the good stuff, I can always download it and watch it on my PC monitor.
Not yet, but I am considering one.

Which type to purchase is my problem. There is so much to consider that it is hard to decide. Besides, who wants to make a mistake when you are spending that kind of money! Any suggestions?
PANASONIC HDTV

We own a 42" Panasonic. We liked the Pioneer Elite the best, but couldn't afford it. We waited until our beautiful old Sony died and then we went HD. We bought ours in December for $1400. When my mom's Sony died in April, we went out to get her the same Panasonic and the price had gone down to $1100. The price reduction due to Panasonic coming out with their next model. Technology moves so fast. Models are almost obsolete before you leave the driveway of the store!
42" Samsung plasma screen.

I love the picture and it is visible at almost 180 degrees. It hangs on the wall and I have the audio going through a Yamaha amp with Klipsch 7.1 surround sound. I could never go back.
Yep, two of 'em

Panasonic 50" Plasma TH-50PX6U 720p
Vizio 47" LCD GV47L
Extremely happy with both. Both technologies have their advantages.

I have a Panasonic plasma 42" EDTV.Got it a few years ago and use a Denon avr something with component cables.DVDs are awesome.Anyone that comes over and sees it playing a DVD is stunned it's not HD,even those that have HD.According to the paperwork this thing(EDTV)will produce 720i/p and 1080i if I replace the board with a hdmi board.Looking at HD in the future just not now,before I purchase something new i'll try the board swap and see what happens.Next one will also be a Panasonic or Pioneer.Haven't seen an LCD I like yet although I have a 20" Funjai in the bedroom with component cable and picture is nice,some weird ghosting with colors between pictures though.I am a firm believer in plasma.

Yep a Syntax Oleiva 427V. I only paid about $380 for it and it has all the features I wanted in a hdtv. HDMI, component, vga input, 27" thin LCD screen, HD tuner, and 720p-1080i output. Its not as nice as my brothers 50" Panasonic Plasma, but I like it.
I have a Panasonic Plasma Viera TH-50PX600A

I had an LG plasma HDTV....great picture until the lines of blown pixels started to appear (just after it ran out of warranty oddly enough). I now have a 127cm (50") Panasonic Plasma Viera TH-50PX600A HDTV with built in digital tuner. It is great for normal free to air digital reception but satelite pay tv is less than impressive. I dont thing that satalite or cable pay tv is broadcast in high def however.I would recommend getting HDTV but the cost could be prohibitive for some. They are becoming more affordable all the time though. Note however my warning....NEVER BUY ANY THING FROM LG.
HD TV
by hlhenry - 6/8/07 10:10 PM In reply to: Poll: Do you own an HDTV? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
No I don't have one.
I won't get one until the standards are sorted out and until the prices come down. The price of the monitors and the content.
The only brand I won't buy is a Sony because I don't want to support their company (due to the way they currently treat customers).
No

I live in a country where HDTV is not so common. I only know HDTV online.
I love my HD

I have had a 57" Hitachi Ultravision HD CRT R.P. for a few years and I have loved it. But now I'm moving to a new house and the place for the TV wont hold that big of a TV, so I have to downsize to a 50". 
The TVs I'm looking at are the Panasonic and Pioneer plasmas and the Samsung LCD.
Buy something "Made in Japan"
by iarmstrong - 6/8/07 10:39 PM In reply to: I love my HD by kcfvegasJapanese made Panasonic, Hitachi, Pioneer are all really great for Plasma TV's. Avoid those made in China or Korea.
WARNING: Don't, whatever you do buy LG. It will look great but will not last and you will regret it.

Although I am not a fan of it, the only reason why you need HDTV would be for hocky. 1/2 the time you can't see the puck on regular cable but everything else is fine ya don't need it.
