you cant watch old movies at the movies. you cant watch tv at the movies. picture and sound quality at the movies no longer always execeeds hdtv you need to compare hdtv to ntsc tv. If you dont watch tv at all and dont need a tv and dont have a tv for that reason that would be one thing, but i dont know anyone who doesnt have a tv or anyone who never watches tv. If you do, than my point is its worth having a hdtv, even if you only watch a little because the product life is basically hours not time. Thats all I am trying to say here. jco

Except I mostly don't give a crap about good cinematography. I'm not a fan outside of movies, and they look better in theaters. Outside of theaters I watch movies typically when travelling, which is on a laptop. Since I'm not a sports fan, that leaves TV programming, which is either crap (NTSC) or pretty crap (HDTV). It is all about pretty crap, for me. -Adam J. C. O'Connell wrote: > Huh, arent you a photographer? Cant > you see how much image quality can > enhance a good photograph?
