People who can't tell the difference between a 720 and a 1080 resolution need to buy glasses or get lasic. Yes I am one of the 1080p snobs, but seriously if you want a blu-ray you want it for one reason only - better picture (and sound to an extent).

If you're happy with 720 let me give you a piece of advise that will save you a ton of money - buy an upconvertion dvd player and buy DVDs - saves you a ton of money on the player and tons more on media and still looks decent.

There's nothing all that wrong with being happy with a 720 picture (hell we've all had worse for most of our lives), but don't come and tell me it's right for a brand new product to incorporate a blu-ray on a 720 display. It's sort of like buying a ferrari engine and putting it in a kia.

This is as much BS as LCDs pushing out Plasmas.

Sadly the average consumer is a moron and listens to clueless sales reps.

The reason why HDTVs were made was for better picture quality - why on earth someone will spend money (sometimes actually more ) to buy an inferior LCD picture, than a Plasma one is beyond me.

Most of us want to conserve power - fine, but the difference between plasma and lcd these days in power consumption is not all that much. And if you're so hardcore on saving energy - DO NOT BUY a TV, but rather go outside and watch nature - I hear watching your actual surroundings is better than 1080p and you won't be wasting any energy at all.

OOOOoooo I love switches! Can I have one please ? :)

So you pay them $13 or whatever a month so that they put ads on your screen - freaking BRILLIANT!! I wonder how soon people will stop putting up with that crap and give these companies the finger.

I'm so glad that I have a htpc which REMOVES the existing ads in my shows without me doing anything, doesn't push ads on me and *gasp* is free ... I know it's a strange concept ...

I want to be able to use RF!!!

That would be sweet. I have to get up sometimes just to get line of sight .. **sigh

P.S. If I knew how to fix the economy I wouldn't be posting here - I'd be able to buy an RF thingy for myself :)
