Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Not needed now....

I don't agree.

I still have a 1978 19" TV in one bedroom and a 1990 36" TV in my main teater system. I have power amps dating back to 1976 in my $10K home theater system.

I own one 32" LCD HDTV. It's in the master bedroom. I plan to keep it decades.

When I buy a 50" for my main system to replace my 36" I want it to last for a long time. I think I'll be disappointed one or two years down the road if I buy a 720p/1080i HDTV.

What's worse is buying an HDTV that has only 720 or 766 lines. Even 1080i must be downconverted to 766 lines to fit the screen.

I think 1080 line HDTVs will be common in a year or two.

If you're going to get a large HDTV, it should display the entire 1080 lines -- regardless of what is broadcast.
