Are you kidding? You cant see even a tiny tiny fraction of what you can see on HD home theater at the movies so its not even remotely comparable to owning a HD home theater. They dont show even complete basic genres like news, sporting events, televison shows, etc. at movie theaters. They only show for the most part, recent movies, & thats it. No way you can compare that directly with HD home theater. Its a very lame argument in my opinion. HD and analog TV are comparable as to function, not but home HD theater and going to the movies are not. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DagT Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 3:24 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Please everyone set up an email filter
You didn´t get the point did you? If you want quality you go to the movies. HDTV may be better than TV but it is still second best. And yes, I do prefer to listen to music live, but that is harder to accomplish so I have a good stereo. DagT Den 20. des. 2006 kl. 20.53 skrev J. C.
