no... our next TV will be HD though

we bought a 32"LCD (1366x768 EDTV) 12 months ago, which was had a better picture at that point than most more expensive, larger models.
today, we could buy the same model for less-than-half the price. picture quality has improved noticeably since the earlier plasma, LCD, and RP TVs a year ago (brighter, more color range).
all new TVs available now are at least 1920x1080i, if not 1920x1080p (much more expensive). this matches the standards set by Bluray/HD-DVD/PS3 -- if you are using those units you should consider HD for your next purchase.
if you mostly just watching cable/satellite, technically it is HD, but in practice you'll find very little difference in picture quality between ED and HD (due to the heavy compression used).
technology moves faster and faster -- in the next few years we will see four- and eight-times the resolution of today's current best HD models, with bigger and better quality images, and for less money. even wallpaper with video images is not far off (imagine your whole house covered with floor-to-ceiling TV pictures). the best TV today will be next year's bargain-basement run-out special.
what it boils down to is, if you need a new TV, buy what you need for today and for the next few years, without extending your mortgage to buy the top-of-the-range (don't expect the TV you buy today to be used or usable in 5yrs, let alone 10yrs from now). if you don't need a new TV, wait until you do.

I don't own hdtv

I don't own one, have no plans to get one. I do not see the need or advantage in it, T.V. is not an essential part of my life, and there are is lot of more important things for my budget to deal with.
Yup.

Picked up a spiffy little 32" Toshiba 32HL67 Regza. Provides a beautiful picture with my PS3 and Xbox 360, and looks downright sexy sitting there taking up very little space on my TV stand.
I'm going to wait a bit

50" Sony SXRD
by 3321kje - 6/10/07 2:28 PM In reply to: Poll: Do you own an HDTV? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
You don't have to be in the sweet spot to enjoy this full 1080 beauty however it is nice to have an angle that is slightly less than off center. Watching HD in full screen is breath taking with the Sony SXRD. Buy the Sony stand as well. It's a perfect match and complets your package. Enjoy.

37-inch HDTV
by Bill Voyles - 6/11/07 2:00 AM In reply to: Poll: Do you own an HDTV? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
I use my new 37-Inch Viore Hi-Def. flat panel tv for my computer monitor, my Satellite Hi-Def. Television as well as DVD-VHS playback
monitor. I use a 3 X 1 HDMI Switcher to choose between the three inputs. It's terrific for viewing my digital photos, Photoshop work
and playback of DVD off of the Hi-Def Satellite. You would be impressed if you could see what I am watching. My next investment will be Hi-Def. DVD Recorder. Probably Blu-ray, when the price settles down a little bit more. Then, I'll have it ALL!!! BV

by a7467 - 6/11/07 11:06 AM In reply to: 37-inch HDTV by Bill VoylesJust purchased the above tv from Walmart. So far so good however when it comes to connecting tv's, well im out of luck. I am unable to get a remote code for the tv that will work with my Directv cable remote. Called the tech support and they want you to purchase a universal remote for 65 dollars. Not happening! Thats the first problem, Also right now i have my cable box connected the the antenna 2 because the antenna 1 (DTV) would not find a signal. Is that because I dont have a HD cable box? If not then how can I hook this up? Now the picture looks grainy...I know this tv has more potential because I have seen it on display, just having a problem getting mine to look like that display.
