CNET's HDTV World
xerid writes "CNET.com has a collection of articles and videos on HDTV and related technologies. It looks like a good starting point for anyone interested in buying an HDTV in the near future. They also include Editors' Top HDTV picks. For top flat-panel HDTV plasma: Panasonic TH-42PHD7UY." From their Ultimate TV Buying Guide: "Since the first HDTVs appeared in 1998, high-definition television has been on the mind of every TV buyer. The big question is whether now is the time to pay a few hundred to a few thousand dollars more and take the plunge on an HDTV set. We can't answer that question for you, but we can provide some basic information that may help you decide."
Once you watch a football game in HDTV, you can't watch it any other way.
Heroscape, it's like legos combined with anachronistic wargames.
Just throw out your TV and do something better with your time. And believe me, everything is better than watching those horrible reality shows, sitcoms with predictable jokes, news that makes you feel there are terrorists living in your basement, and soaps that seem to be designed to to make you stupid.
Really, TV is an insult to your intelligence. I'm boycotting them since 2004.

That would be one of the key factors to which HDTV to buy, for any geek, I would think.
Just remember, in the future, no DRM = no content. A non-DRM set will not play DRM content. Are you expecting non-DRM content in the future? It will be as mainstream as NON-Macrovision VHS tapes, NON-CSS DVDs, NON-Reigon coded DVDs, etc. Sure you can play your old VHS stuff you recorded off analog TV in the 1990's, but not in HDTV.
For new content and the new format, not geting something that can play DRM would be a waste of money unless you use your HDTV camcorder to produce all your own content.
Most of my content comes over the Internet, not from traditional TV sources.
The truth shall set you free!
