Is HD overrated?

"Duhhhh look at my 60 inch plasma, its the best don't you know - only cost £5000"


Anyway, Amiga500, if you spend that amount of time in playing with yourself, you'll go blind anyway.

My 40 inch HD LCD screen (Sony Bravia) was a New Year's bargain a few years ago at about £899... That's the cost your projector will be in a few years with a few bulbs...

And unlike your projector I can watch it with the curtains open too!

Wrong! The projector will still be worth at least 50% what was paid, and with a new bulb, its as good as new. It uses all the new formats NOW whereas the technology in your TV is the dark ages. LCD wears out over time and your picture will look sh* t after a year if you use it for that length of time.

I'm sorry but you have to face it. You've overspent on inferior technology and gone in the wrong direction. You already said about breaking your back with a plasma

Considering how proud you are of tech things (like you name ),
It must be really galling for everyone to see that you've made such a basic mistake.

If you want to really see the difference HD makes, buy a projector.
If you're not bothered, buy a TV with motion judder

My 42 inch HD LCD (Sony Bravia) was a Tesco bargain at £480 in April

Mine is 42 inch too actually, I always quote 40 inches as it has a nice ring to it (subconscious rounding down ) That's a good price, although I bought mine when they were a bit steeper generally.
