SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Rodolfo LaMaestra's

Digital Television (DTV)

Review of a Year of Unprecedented Growth Updated at the

Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2004.
(One hundred pages)
 

Dear Readers,

The highly respected HDTV advocate and author, Rodolfo La Maestra, has made a deal for us that cannot be beat anywhere else.

As many of you already know Rodolfo has been a powerful influence in helping the public in their comprehension and appreciation of HDTV. Last year he undertook a massive report covering the Consumer Electronics Show complete with all of the new HDTV-related products introduced at that time. The product listings were complete with their technical attributes, insightful comments by exhibitors he interviewed, and the prices for most of iteme listed.

This year Rodolfo has gone even further. Not only are all of the presently available HDTV-related products and those introduced at the CES for release lster this year are listed (with complete technical comparative analysis and prices) but you will also find those items released at other events throughout 2003, such as at the CEDIA show. This fully illustrated report is complete with photos of the products you will soon be shopping for as well as providing an overview of where things stand and are going.
 

The contents of the 100 page report include the following: Brief Highlights of CES 2004 Update on the DTV Deployment FCC plan for OTA and Cable Brief Summary of the DTV Plan Market Penetration of DTV HD Programming Available A Year of Announcements The FCC Implementation of the OTA Tuner Mandate and the Cable Agreement HDTV Integrated Tuners DTV Over-the-Air ATSC Tuners DTV Cable-tuners How this Cable Plan was approved in 2003 CableCARD Broadcast DTV Regulations Recently Approved HD-STB vs. Integrated Tuners HD Tuning Capabilities Backward Compatibility with NTSC Equipment Upgrade Capabilities of Cable Tuner/s (and Integrated HDTVs) Analysis Summary Comparison Table of Monitors and Integrated HDTVs DTVs and HDTVs CRT, LCoS, D-ILA, and LCD Panels, FPTVs, and RPTVs Analysis and Status of DLP DLP RPTVs and FPTVs Plasma Panels Video Processors that Upscale to 1080i/720p General Review -HD-STBs/PVRs HD Recording -HD DVD Players/Recorders HD DVD Formats, General Review HD D-VHS Recorders Digital Connectivity (DVI, 1394, HDMI) HDMI Multi-connectivity Update from CES 2004 DVD players with 720p/1080i upconversion Acronyms

Rodolfo wants to help the HDTV Magazine and said to me, "Dale, use my report as a premium and increase your sales so you can get HDTV Magazine further out front were it belongs."

The report was produced with you in mind. It has the meticulous detail of a professional engineer, which Rodolfo is. He is also a communicator and a long-standing advocate for HDTV. You will quickly sense his dedication as he makes all of the products, services, acronyms, and market dynamics associated with HDTV completely understandable to you full detail.

Neither Rodolfo nor I could put a price tag on this report. To those who value their time it has to be priceless. The HDTV investment you make is not a trivial one. HDTV is only about quality and that varies. Research on your part is absolutely necessary if you are to be free of costly disappointments. But with Rodolfo's comprehensive report you can stop thumbing through endless brochures with their confounding buzz words or swinging from one flashy web site to another in a vain attempt to figure out what is best for you and your family. When the salesman you are talking to leap into fantasy you can pull out the report and provide him or her with a memorable lesson. (Indeed, any salesman will want the report from you. Please tell them how you got it.)

So, how do we price such a valuable contribution? Rather than fumble with that question I took our annual subscription price of $35 and reduced it to zero for those ordering the report for $35. Look at it as if you get an annual subscription to HDTV Magazine free with the report, or the report is free with your annual subscription. Either view is absolutely correct. It's an "two for one" offer that can't be beat if you are about to be or are a current user of HDTV products and services.

For those regular member I will extend your subscription by one year with your order of the report. Alternatively, you can give the "free" subscription to a friend or relative by just adding their email address on the order form. (I would suggest you send a select portion of the report to that friend or relative as a gesture of good will and friendship.)

For you with a "lifetime" charter membership status this is a wonderful opportunity to spur us along with your support while at the same time rounding out your HDTV reference library.

It is easy to order this report. It is easy to download it to your hard drive immediately upon the clearing of your credit card payment.

Please go to our familiar ordering page now:

Upon filling it out and submitting this standard ordering form you will receive an email from me with the web address where you may download the complete report in either PDF or MS Word files. 

It's a great value. Your order will not only give you expert status on HDTV but will do as Rodolfo has wanted--help HDTV Magazine reach a new level of operation and help lead this mission for raising our standards from the inside out. I hope we all share in this vision forward.

Sincerely,
Dale Cripps, Publisher
