Not all movies are about a good story, some are about completely different things but can still be quite entertaining or even better than a film with a just good story. Many movies are very visual rather than narative. A good HDTV will never hurt the story, but a crappy ntsc will hurt the visuals. jco

These are the very same things. Because I care about the story, not the pretty. With my pictures, I rely on the image itself to do all the telling, with TV it's only part of the story, and even then not the most improtant part. > > HDTV is way better, > and if you check the current prices, very affordable > to the average person, not only the rich and famous. > I posted this three times already: > they cost less than a regular tv's did 10 years ago > of the same size screen but the HDTV picture quality > blows away those 10 yr old sets.

If I had that sort of cash lying around to spend on a TV, I'd have a Canon 5D and some Leica R lenses instead. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
