In Reply to: HDTV really needs at least a 42" diagonal screen to be worthwhile posted by petew on April 05, 2002 at 09:57:10:
I should have said 43".The article you linked to, btw, is about 8 months old, an eternity in this business.

Yep, it does true HD but it doesn't do black and it seems to suffer from subtle image artifacts in dark scenes. Everytime I've seen this set at Tweeter it can't get past dark grey. I gotta believe were gonna see the Panny black level and the Pioneer resolution from one of these manufacturers soon for under $10k. Maybe well under.If I were Chris that's what I'd wait on.

i guess i'll put a hole in the boat to let the water out

Not at all.You make a good point that everyone needs to watch out for -- there's a myriad of different formats 1080i, 720p, etc. etc. and it's hard to keep 'em all straight. So a buyer swimming around in all this has got to look out for the sharks and make sure he doesn't get bitten when he plunks down the rather large stack of bills that buying one of these things requires.
IIRC, the unit that my wife and I saw was the Pioneer jobbie that I linked to. I know it wasn't interlaced (I can tell the difference) and I don't think it was as big as 50 inches. (Her reaction immediately upon our walking into the store: "Oooh, that's nice and so thin, just like a picture!" (The had the display wall-mounted.) Our local PBS outlet was showing an HDTV broadcast about rennaisance painting -- quite the program to show off the virtues of HDTV.
