Less Than That Now Suffices For Most

How many folks have DVD players hooked up via component to begin with? How many folks have TVs that are more than 32"?

There is no doubting or questioning DVD has become very popular over the years and perhaps one would be in the minority if they still have VHS per se. But the emphasis isn't because of picture or sound quality per se while that is attainable.

Putting PQ into perspective, how many folks have high resolution PC monitors/displays or digital cameras or go to specific theaters because the quality of the film transfer is better?

This is a tough tough sale. DVD players hook up to most any TV folks have now. No doubting that eventually folks will have the display they may need for HD DVD but it is going to be a very slow process.
