To HDTV or Not to HDTV?

Posted by Cliff on from the but-there's-plenty-of-time-until-2006 dept.

fishrokka asks: "I'm considering buying an HDTV, but before I jump in I wanted to get Slashdot's opinion. The demos I've seen at stores look great, but is it worth the extra money? I would love to hear some real-life experiences..." I have yet to actually go out and see a demo of HDTV, but from what I hear, it's markedly better than the current analog technology. Although there are HDTV broadcasts to be found today, the FCC deadline for adoption of the format is not until sometime in 2006. Are the current HDTV implementations worth the pricetags, especially when one can limp along with their existing TVs for another 4 years?

    yo fuckwit. runco really does make incredibly dope monitors. Of course they tend to cost a dollar or two. There's no possible way to fuck up a Runco or Vidikron demo though, just won't happen, the products are way too fucking good.
