Re: Any impressions of HDTV?

Posted by Rod M on March 9, 1999 at 06:56:15:
Well I haven't looked at any dealers yet, still too expensive, but I saw HDTV about 10 years ago in Japan at the Matsushita plant in Osaka, WOW!
They did a demo of standard and then switching to HD and the difference was almost like TV vs Real life. Colors were vibrant, image was impeccable, no scan lines to be seen. So I've been waiting a loooooong time.
Did you look at any of the LCD stuff? I've seen the Phillips but it was only running the standard TV feed so it was hard to tell how good it might look. I really like the idea of a the small footprint and depth of the LCD stuff, if it performs of course.
