Sounds like there's a loose nut between the seat and the steering wheel. Know what I mean, Vern?DVD will become the new VHS when movies in the blue laser format are released. That's because creating new/more information is not equal to starting off with more information in the first place and downconverting to a lower resolution to be displayed. If you've ever seen a native High Definition signal and directly compared it to a Standard Definition signal, even upconverted, the difference is rather obvious. And no, it is not incremental. That's with broadcast HDTV. D-Theater offers even better picture quality than HDTV, so it's even more apparent. If the HD-DVD and BlueRay groups can get the studios to release 1080p material, displays that have the capability will really show off the new formats.*
LG and Samsung are scheduled to release 70" and 71" 1920x1080p plasma displays in Q4 2004. Both companies, along with a few others, are should be releasing 50"+ 1920x1080p flat panel LCD displays by Q4 2004 / Q1 2005. Sometime in 2005, Samsung will release an 80" 1920x1080p plasma display and we may see 50" 1920x1080p plasma displays by Q4 2005.
Anyway, that's my input.
* I'm talking about 50" and up High Definition displays. Making comparisons pertaining to HD-DVD/BlueRay and SD-DVD on smaller displays obviously diminishes the differences.
