Maybe Philips is put off by the large number of Joes Sixpack that already complain about movies and TV not filling their screens. I guess on the upside, ignoramuses who accidentally bought one of these babies might start insisting the movie industry change their default format to match 21:9 instead of 16:9 -- which of course they already use.
I'm a Canadian with an HDTV but without HD service from a cable company. Or any cable TV service, actually. But I watch plenty of HD, because I have an HTPC and a pretty solid 10 Mb/sec cable Internet connection, and I download everything I want to watch.
I've also got a PS3, so I buy and rent Blu-Ray. Better than over-compressed, cropped HD stuff from cable.
My brother makes up for my lack of enthusiasm for cable HD service, though: he's got two HD-PVRs.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
