  Didn't get the wink.
  
  Well, I know that some people may laugh; but I've talked with a number of others who agree with my descision. After speaking to people, I was bit surprised at how many aren't excited about HD in it's present state. On guy whom I respect said flat out that he won't compromise with motion blur, no matter how wonderful the other qualities may be.
  
  Anyway, a year from now brand new, better [probably much better], cheaper sets will be available, making today's choices dated, and on their way to being what yesterdays PCs are: boat anchors. Well, light boat anchors.
  
  OLED is just around the corner; who knows? They may even achieve natural flesh tones...someday.

    Yeah, I hate LCD tv's too.
    
    Plasma is awfully nice, though. Check out the Panasonics.

    Flesh tones are great on my calibrated Panasonic Plasma. No motion blur, either. You get the positives of a CRT (real phosphors) without the problems (poor convergence, at least on parts of the screen). I loved my Sony Wega when I had it, but I would never go back.

    The benefits of CRT and LCD without the issues of either IMO.

    OLED is dead. Been dead for quite a while-its not financially feasible.
    If you want accurate flesh tones, one has to calibrate their set. I guess pushing a couple of buttons is just too hard for some people. Plasma is is pretty much the standard-they are very good. CRTs have their own issues.

    Plasma! I can't understand anyone preferring SD to HD. It is spectacular in my home. That being said I know there are some who prefer VHS to DVD.
