I guess I don't need tell you how naive your comments sound. "Nobody likes it--too bad they keep buying it". Come on man, Amazon has had a hard time keeping them in stock since they arrived. There is an obvious reason "they keep buying it". Go read the reviews.
You're right this is huge news. I have been expecting something like this for some time, although I always thought it would be Warner. Its moves like this that will end the war all together. I saw something big on the horizon with the announcement of Blockbuster going to Blu-ray.
I'm sorry we could have this argument all day, You all can keep your LCD's because its just no comparison with contrast ratio and true colors. Plasma's just have richer, deeper, true-er color. Black levels are better represented as what they should be...black, not charcoal or a midnight shade of black, but black. Correct black levels will make all other colors more rich and vibrant, deep crimson reds and royal blues. Its just no comparison. Granted LCD has its upsides, but from purely an HD picture standpoint, plasma is superior. Which is sad because daily people are getting duped into buying more expensive LCD's which I believe are about 2-3 years away from actually producing the same quality picture as a high end Plasma.
Well said!!! I think the whole "HD download" thing is overrated and I completely agree with everything you said... this coming from an HD DVD guy. Nice to know someone in here thinks like a typical consumer.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
