EDTV = Enhanced Definition TeleVision. Rather than me reinventing the wheel, see:
http://www.cnet.com/4520-7874_1-5137915-1.html?tag=txt but bear in mind that pricing has come down considerably since this piece was written. Not being a purest, I may well go for EDTV if I ever decide to buy a flat-panel. I agree that $2K is a LOT of money to pay for the fare commonly available in the "vast wasteland!" ;) As noted though, prices have fallen dramatically in the last year. Just a year ago, about the best prices I saw on EDTV was the Circuit City house brand for $2400 and one can easily find a comparable set for less than half that now. When the price point on EDTV hits $500, I will probably make a move on it.

HDTV = High Definition Television, but what in the world is EDTV? -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
