Well, you are in a very very small minority if you dont care about TV/HomeTheater picture quality. "TV" Picture quality has been an issue for most people since the dawn of TV. Have you always bought a set and not cared at all about the PQ? If so, you must have bought the cheapest possible set in the store every single time you bought a tv in your entire life. That is not what most people have done. Most people ARE concerned about the picture quality of what they buy and what they watch. I recommend HDTV by now and even if your old set still works fine if its a 4x3, because nearly all 4x3 sets are missing key performance features unrelated to 4x3 due to the vintage. jco

I couldn´t care less about TV quality, but I love a good print. So much in fact that I still make fiber based and selenium toned BW prints from 6x6 negatives myself. Accept the difference.
