In Reply to: When 16:9 to mainstream? posted by Randall F on February 18, 2002 at 21:54:01:
as that is how HD it broadcast, and that is when it will be "mainstream"....I just went through this and ended up buying a 36" Tosh Cinema Series HDTV Ready set (4:3)...Why? Mostly because HDTV will not be here as the only medium for a loooong time (IMO), Why? Because as long as they are selling +$1000 sets that ARE NOT HDTV ready (and they are) the mandate will not be enforce as long as all these "new non-HDTV" sets have a reasonable physical life...The US has been too slow with the intergrations..they should have mandated that all TVs sold by X date be HDTV ready and then follow that with mandated change over..When? At least 10 years from now..I also go the 36 beacuse I really don't have a problem with letterboxing my DVDs and even then with this size tv the picture is about the size of a 34 inch 16:9 picture, but smaller. I aslo would have a problem with 'morped broadcast signals and/or a problem with black bars on the sides of my broadcast signals....So now I have a fine fine fine TV, that utterly amazing in the HT DVD presentaion AND if I choose I can have my HDTV feed too......
