In Reply to: Any impressions of HDTV? posted by Joe S on March 08, 1999 at 16:20:31:
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.
I assume you mean the flat screen stuff. Yep, Ive seen a couple of brands at least 5 ro 6 times and in a word (two to be exact) - it sucks.
Too bad, because the hang on the wall thin screens are a cool format...

Too bad, but brightness and speed are big issues with LCD. Maybe some day. It does seem like the greatest thing if it could be done right. I would say that what I've seen in LCD is at least as good as older RPTVs. I've never really liked RP vs a good tube TV. Tubes, got to love 'em.
