although they're labeled as such. They can't resolve all the information in a 1080i, 720P, or 1080P signal. They'll show a picture, but it won't have all the detail being broadcast. Direct view can do 480P which is what Fox is broadcasting and what you can get from progressive DVD.If you only plan to use the set for 3-5 years, however, the above may not matter to you.
Padrekan is probably getting PBS HDTV over the air with an antenna.

and display it directly without any conversion. Compare any direct view's 1080i reproduction with that of any rear or front projection CRT with 7" or larger tubes and you'll see what you're missing. That said, it may not matter to you, but it does matter to me and that's why I don't use a direct view set for high definition video.
"Direct view CRT sets really can't do HDTV..."Do you have a URL link to back up that claim? Just curious. Can't say IU've heard that before. Not that I doubt it. Link?
Do a search, but why do you need a link for something you can SEE with your eyes?
