.. It seems to me that this whole wide-screen putch is being driven by the movie industry who would like to see us all watching movies in the same format as we see when we pay outrageous prices to watch a first run movie with over-compensated stars, directors, camerman, make-up artists, drivers, and just about every other kind of flunky you can imagine, not to mention popcorn that costs more than Texas light sweet crude. I am watching the US Open tennis tournament as I type, on an ordinary tv and frankly I have a lot of trouble seeing what could be added by seeing this in HDTV. And, I might add, I am someone who has spent many thousands of dollars for a high end stereo system.
Follow Ups:
I couldn't disagree more. I also watched the US open, and today some college football on HDTV and have been doing so for almost 4 years. I can't imagine how you could not see a tremendous difference between HDTV and standard definition. In fact, I almost never watch regular TV unless I have to. This was largely the case for the first year or so that I had this unit (Mitsubishsi 65899 Diamond). Thankfully now, just about every station has its HDTV equivalent on our cable listings.
A high end stereo system addresses an environment where my ear is the only source of information. I have to spend a lot of money to hear the violas playing under the violins. With television, there are so many sources of information, that it really takes a lot to give me more than I am already getting.
