I'll never forget the first time I watched a HD demo. It blew me away instantly. I mean, you can actually see the much improved degree of clarity as if I was watching out the window, almost as if I can touch it, the incredible color of the fruits, etc.
I'm a true HD convert. The truth of the matter is that until people actually sit-down and watch a "true HD" show or sporting event, they will not know what they are missing.
Having said that, many consumers are torn about the whole HD DVD & Blu-ray format war. I know that the quality will be far superior to DVD & just cannot bring myself to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a player and hundreds more for movies that may not be around in a year or so if that format loses the battle.
Currently, I'm using an upconverting DVD player on my 42" HDTV (RPTV 3LCD) at 720p thru HDMI which resulting in near high definition viewing experience. For this manner, I believe this is a safe bet for the next year or two until the cost and future of HD movie viewing is more stable & affordable.
In general, I'm a Blu-ray supporter & will be holding my breath until the release of PS3 as being the cheapest BD player in the market. If only reviews on the PS3's BD capability proven highly positive, then only will myself consider a purchase in the future....
Meanwhile...yes
DVD is still looking great! Long live DVD! More quality LE release pls...
