Dudes, get an HD TV. It really is transformative. And yes, it kills me
that my expensive old large screen standard def TV is just a POS in
comparison, even though it is in perfect working order.
I can't even stand to watch standard def anymore.
I've seen and used HD sets. Heck, my sister has one (a fancy new one -
1080p
of course) and I've watched stuff on it with her. BluRay, HDMI, all the
bells & whitles, etc. Yea, the HD looks nice, but ultimately I've never
gotten past the overall feeling of "Meh". YMMV, but it *honestly* just
doesn't do much for me. Certainly not enough to blow hundreds of dollars
on
it.
3d. It's worth the upgrade. My brother has a PS3 and just got a 47" HD
3D set for about $1000. Modern warfare in 3d is freaking amazing.
I'm waiting for the price to come down so I can get one :)
I currently have an HD tube tv which runs at 1080i. The nice thing about
tubes is that standard definition *does* look more normal in it. But the
bad part is that most HD signals are *expecting* you to have a flat
panel. Whenever I watch a sports game, I get pissed that the score is cut
off by my TV because they put it on the exact edge of the picture.
