How can HDTV be improved?
 

This is my opinion:

1. 3D picture, without any glasses. The technology is already available and is getting improved and commercialized.

2. 1080p resolution and larger screens.

3: Wider distribution.

Lots of HDTV-ready sets out there. Not much programming to watch.

4) Someone please hand me $15,000.00 so that I can by a HD-ready set, tuner, dish, and pay the monthly connection fees for a year. Oh, and I'll need a bigger apartment for the big widescreen. :)

Can get for about 10x less when on good sale in Los Angeles.

We're speaking Canadian Dollars here.

HDTV "READY"!!! what a scam....you still have to buy a VERY expensive HDTV receiver. I don't think it's worth the cost.

I'm not sure what the deal with HDTV "ready" is, what's the scam, anyone want to explain it? How much exrtra is the HDTV reciever?

basically, HDTV ready means that the set can display 1024 x 768 progressive scan, but, doesn't have the receiver to decode the transmitted HDTV signal. IOW, the set is a very expensive monitor only. The only sets I've seen with built in receivers are wide screen plasma displays that cost in excess of $4K. HAhhaaaa, I really don't see ANYTHING on broadcast or cable TV that I think is worth paying that kind of money to see.

You can get hdtv receivers for about $300 here in L.A. Future sets will have them built.

Went to Costco yesterday. $750 for Samsung HD TV set -- I think 31". Excellent picture. If you have cable, you can rent the box with HDTV output from the cable company -- don't have to buy the receiver.

there is some doubt, in my mind, that a $300 receiver will provide the HD resolution that will take full advantage of the quality available.

Watching 24 in Widescreen HDTV would be worth it all...

I think the last eposode of "24" is on tonight. Or, are there 2 left?

Last episode was on monday... I hope to watch it this thursday
or something. Then we go to season 3

that kind of stuff will rot brain tissue...it's worse than aspartame
