I find this all rather ridiculous. IMOHO, the HD is only worthwhile in screen sizes of over 65"- and preferably over 100". If you happen to be such a size queen (and I am,) ANY lessening of the quality ("we're hard pressed to see a difference" on what? a 22" or 50" monitor?) is a game killer. Save the streaming for lo-fi for now. I'll wait 'til its SNL*, not NOT READY for prime time players. *by no means do I indicate w/ this pun that SNL was any kind of improvement on the NOT READY PLAYERS, give me Mr. Chase, Lorraine, Gilda, and the Muppets any day over any other cast.
HP has had plenty of time to fine-tune its finger-friendly TouchSmart software, and now, its newest model, the TouchSmart 610, ushers in a fresh design, highlighted by a hinge that allows the display to slide down and lie nearly flat.

The testing was done on a Pioneer PDP-6010FD (60-inch kuro plasma) from an absurdly close viewing distance of like 5 feet.
We didn't say it looked better, we said it was comparable, which is a far cry from the non-HDX Vudu titles.
Plus, PQ isn't everything and we still prefer Blu-ray.
HD is only worth it on a screen 65" or bigger? Are you nuts?
Or maybe you just have 20/400 vision...but even from 13 feet, my 42" plasma looks far better on BD than it does with DVD.
