HDTV Expert Alfred Poor Tells You What to Buy and What Not to Buy (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the there's-no-such-thing-as-a-TV-that's-too-big dept.

Alfred Poor's website is called HDTV Almanac. That's where he talks about the latest HDTV industry news and changes. He also writes about HDTVs and monitors for a variety of industry publications and does some marketing consulting for manufacturers in the field. In this 17 minute video, Alfred tells us what features we should look for in our next TV buy and which ones aren't worth spending extra money on. He also says that for a variety of non-technical reasons, you might want to consider buying your next TV between now and June -- and says you should think about getting a 3D TV even if there aren't many 3D TV shows you want to watch right now.

    Apparently Slashdot's new tagline is:
    Ads for nerds. Stuff you should buy.

    Posting anonymously as I've already modded.... but c'mon Slashdot. What the hell is this crap you're slashvertising???

    A 17 minute clip (I only got 10 minutes in before it stalled) of some random guy pushing 3D tellies as if they're going out of fashion?

    BUY 3D NOOOOOW! IT WON'T GET ANY CHEAPER!!111!!!!1!!!!

    Seriously? Even second-hand car salesman are more honest than that. My Mum would watch this and sum it up to be a load of bullshit. So why the hell is it posted on a tech site FFS? I'm on the verge of quitting Slashdot now. I can get more up-to-date stories on the BBC that don't appear on Slashdot until about 2 days later, and the stuff that does appear on Slashdot is now watered down bullshit.
