The DVD forum has recently announced it's backing the HD-DVD format rather than bluray, so it looks as if sony has created the beta/superbeta/betacam/minidisc/umd/SACD/PDD all over again, not to mention TDK already has talks of introducing a 6-layer 200gig media, and of course the D-data DMD (formerly called the FMD) which uses the more stable red-laser format, but can hold 1TB per disc, and the Optiware HVD which is actually a holographic media which can store 3.9TB per disc, and already has drives available for professional and medical data storage.

Blu-ray will be another dead sony-only media format.

I don't understand why they always have to have their own incompatible, proprietary format.....

Sharp 65" (I think) DLP and a 50" Vizio Plasma, both purchased from Costco. I love the picture quality on both. Both being powered by DirecTV HD-DVRs (aka: Tivo) connected by HDMI cables.

My biggest complaint is the scarcity of HD channels on DirecTV but that is supposed to improve in the coming year.

Remember, just like in car audio, a lot depends on your sources and source material.

im guessing that is the 32 inch? We just got a Vizio 50 inch, 1080i compatible and all that good stuff.

Dell 42 inch plasma,only thing I dont like about it is sometimes some of the black background isnt dard enough,kinda greyish in some spots,but high def channels and football games look amazing

 

[TooLowTooGo 10+ year member]

There are always higher resolutions on the way ... It doesn't mean that you're going to be able to see the difference from 6 feet away ...

yep just like some people say there is a huge difference between hdmi and component

shit I cant tell the difference at all 10+ feet away.

 

[yacob.naif 10+ year member]

there's virtually no difference between hdmi and component if it's a single source-to-tv connection

the hdmi's signal degrades if there's multiple connections through a receiver, etc. or if the cable is longer than 5 or 6 feet due to increased loss and noise due to single stranded square cable, and decreased surface area of the interconnects

 

[yacob.naif 10+ year member]

hdmi is NOT digital video, only audio

 

[yacob.naif 10+ year member]

n/m i'm wrong

 

[yacob.naif 10+ year member]

here's the article i was thinking of, tho

it IS DVI and HDMI that degrade faster over time, due to relaxed control over impedance of the line, causing signal reflections

and these DO cause degradation of the signal, visible as 'sparklies' in the picture
