Any impressions of HDTV?

Posted by Joe S on March 8, 1999 at 16:20:31:
I've seen in stores at two places of the new Mitsubishis in a few sizes and while they look good (run off a hard drive HD video from Mitsu showing desert, bayou, everglade type scenes) I have to admit I had mixed impressions. Nicer, but not as good as I would have expected - more than a little disapointing actually.
Now of course every dealer I've ever been to is intent on showing how bright the Mitsu picture can be so these guys were probably far from ideally set up - I didnt have the chance to access adjustment menus to see, so I'll reserve judgement for now. But a couple of nights ago I saw the new Pioneer 64" and all I can say is WOW. This is more like it.
Very lifelike picture, a huge step up from any NTSC RPTV I've ever seen. Almost 35 mm print quality in terms of image and a notable lack of traditional video artifacts. What are you guys seeing out there?
