The HD revolution?

I do not have HDtv @ home. However, the few times I have seen it...I don't get what all the hub-bub is about.

As is my usual...I saw it while a sporting event was happening.

First, I believe I saw football. This time while waiting to see a movie (Gran Torino...review upcoming), I saw a college basketball game this time. The ONLY difference I saw was that you could read the ESPN bottom line easier....big-fuck-deal right? And with the widescreen I saw it on, you could see more of the basketball court, but that's NOT where the action was at. So, in effect, the wider screen acted more as n attention from the game distraction.

Perhaps if I watched an action-packed movie, I'd feel differently. I have yet to see baseball in HDtv...and the sports junkies say that and hockey are where the HD really shines.

All I can say is, until cable/satellite prices and the tv's themselves come down...I see no compelling reason to make a switch to HDtv anytime soon.

I will be sure to go to this particular movie theater to see a show again this summer when there is baseball on to see if it wow's me. Then I'll report back then on thoughts/reactions.
