I know this is like the 15th thread about HD tv, but until recently I've never really seen one except in bars. I'm visiting my brother and he's got a 50 inch plasma HD and this thing is just sick. HD DVD? Ridiculous. It's ruined regular tv for me.

Yeah, pack one of those in your satchel, and see how it works over there wherever it is you're going.

Me, I'll take the four inch black and decker with 4 d batteries anyday.

50 inches is weak. 120in. or bust.

I'm currently waffling over whether to drop the money on a 37 inch 720p LCD HDTV. The thing I'm wondering about is that it's a brand called "Element" and I'm unsure as to whether or not to trust it. As well, I don't have cable so I'd be wondering whether or not my antenna would have a good enough reception to make it worthwhile. I really want to do it, but I'm just not sure about it for some reason.

Buy it. Having one of these in my apartment is completely awesome on so many levels. 125inches, its absolutely beautiful.

Input your info and it'll give you a conservative estimate on what your over-the-air HDTV reception will be like.

Once you go with HD and DVR, you can never go back to regular TV again. It's sad in a way.

Hopefully they have HD TV's in the mountains of Southeast Asia.

I may have started the first rave about HDTV on here. Me, "Mr. No Cell Phone Or MP3 Player I Don't Need Any Fancy New Gadgets In My Life" saw one at a neighbors house and it was over. Within a month I had one myself, and almost one year later I am still in awe of it.

I'm addicted to Discovery HD and the Science Channel HD, ahh pretty much anything in HD (sports absolutely kick @ss). I'll watch a crappy show sometimes if it looks really good.

Finally got my HD cable hooked up last night.
Had to drop DirecTV, the HD dish wouldn't work due to too many trees.
Bought the 46" Samsung 1080p LCD 2 weeks ago. I thought it was sweet before the HD hook up. Now I'm amazed. It is amazing. I agree, Discovery HD is great. I only get 12 HD channels w/ Comcast, but they were my only option. When are more channells going HD?
