ditto.
I really think they only started pushing HD because standard resolution on a huge tv set looks like crap. This is where 720 and 1080 lines makes more sense. however, unless you have a huge TV or you're using your CT-100 as a computer monitor, I don't see the point in killing NTSC.
Another thing is digital compression. The more and more channels cable and satellite companies cram into their head-end, the more compression they have to use per network in order to cram everything into their alloted bandwidth. This produces that 'digital "fringe" or tiled like picture. Its really a joke when i go to my buds house to watch a game on his 'HD' set. when the camera is on the ball everything else moving in the background is chunky.
Digital HD looks great, but only is really worth it when you do it the right way:
1. a large CRT set, preferably a sony XBR with the super fine dot pitch CRT.
2. A high bandwidth true HD player, or at least something that upscales to HD
3. Decent cables
4. Proper calibration of the set after install
Otherwise, gimmie my old school sets and let me be. I don't watch TV much as it is, why spend bucks to watch it in HD?
