For all of his supposed research into HDTVs, Mr. Boutin seems not really to have done a very thorough job.
For instance (and this is just one obvious set of errors among many), when he riffs on DLP TVs, he talks about how "bulky" they are, and how he doesn't want a "200-lb God Box" in his living room. Well, sorry to disappoint, but DLP is neither as bulky nor as heavy as he purports. Samsung for instance (and I'm not flacking for them, it's just true) has a "slim" DLP TV that's less than 11" deep and weighs just over 50 lbs. That's hardly the bulky, 200-lb demon of Mr. Boutin's nightmares.
I think the truth is that Mr. Boutin hasn't owned a TV in 15 years, and he was looking for a reason not to buy into the HDTV "revolution".
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
