you never had an HDTV then, if you arent seeing your show, films, and events, in HD, then the replacement is already overdue no matter what year it is. HDTV is not just improved analog TV, its an entire order of magnitude better all new system and viewing experience. jco

I base that calculation on the amount of time I have per week to watch DVDs... That's the primary reason for why I bought a television about two decades ago...

Maybe I'll not bother when replacement is due...
