Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I don't think it is an issue of intelligence. . . .

Rather, it is an issue of ignorance. They are simply ignorant of the new hi-def video formats.

Duilawyer is right, the sample is skewed.

So are the postings in this forum. Most if not all who post here are either audio- and/or videophiles. Frankly, I can't believe no one knows about HD-DVD vs. blu-ray. However, the average Joe who watches SDTV and has a DVD player is often clueless. And frankly, I surmise that many plasma, LCD, and DLP owners are also clueless. It takes years for a new format (audio or video) to gain critical mass. And some (SACD, DVD-A, etc.) never do.
