Hi folks...
I have been contemplating buying an HDTV mostly for personal use. I am not shooting in HD yet, but I'm sure I will be in the next year and a half, so I want something that will come along for the ride with me. I'm strongly tempted to wait until the HD DVD players are on the market so that I can be sure that I'm not missing something I'll want later, but I don't know if I'm just being overly cautious. I did notice, however, that the first consumer models that handle 1080p are hitting the market now... That's a reason I wouldn't have wanted to buy six months ago.
So my question is... am I safe buying now? Or should I wait?
I know that the cost will be dropping steadily for a while... but is there an imminent precipitous drop? Or will it just continue with the slow and steady?
Thanks all in advance.
