If ever I were to upgrade my TV, I think I'd go with the 65" 720p set that Philips made for awhile. The whole 1080p business doesn't do a thing for me, personally. I guess that's the definition of officially being dated?

Now it seems crazy to have paid $4K for a 42". But at the time it was cutting edge, and a good price.
Just saying, you don't want to be caught with yet another “obsoleted before it has collected any dust” HD format TV.
I don't like that high-def stuff. I went over to a friend's house and saw Reservoir Dogs in full 1080p, and it gave me a headache: I kept squinting and half-crossing my eyes, expecting Harvey Keitel to turn 3-D. I mentioned this to my friend and he said, "Oh, we didn't like it for the first dozen or so movies, but now we don't like the 720p format!" And I thought to myself: "Wait a minute, you didn't like the new format, so you kept watching it anyway until you reached the point where you didn't have any choice but to replace all of your movies? I've got two thousand movies!"
My friends here say that eventually I won't have any choice, but I have a hard time tracking with the logic of that statement: There will, surely, always (at least in the eyes of a 41 year-old like me) be cast-off 720p TV's and 720p DVD-players -- and I don't have any TV signal whatsoever. So how, exactly, am I going to get "forced" into throwing everything out and starting all over?
