----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----
I may have a slightly different take on this. I think it's fair to observe
that nearly all purchasers of "big ticket" TV's are willing to shell out for
what they perceive as sharp, colorful, life-like images. I don't think they
know diddly about the various display specs....just looking for the pretty
pictures. If this is at least mostly true, the most important issue for
1080P sets is do they produce the most bang for the buck. If folks in the
know can state positively that these sets are no better than last year's of
the year before, that's the word that needs to get out so that folks can
shell out a thousand or more less dollars and still get fabulous pictures.
