Holy crap, I've just seen television for the first time!! (New HDTV)

[Bake]

Damn damn damn I just got a 47" HDTV and all I can say is HOLY CRAP!!!!

Who knew television actually could look so incredible? I can't watch Tweets, and Dan, and KO anymore, because they're not on high def!! Even CNN looks awesome (and i NEVER use that word!).

1. You've become one of "them"

A HDTV snob.

Sort of like the people who fly first class one time, and go on and on about how they could never ever fly coach.

Screw you.

(:sarcasm:, in case you can't tell.)

[Bake]

6. Oh no, I would never be a snob about it

You "little people" can watch regular TV all you like ...

:rofl:

2. That's fine and all, but it ain't gonna a damn thing for watching Barbara Walters

[Bake]

8. I can't stand Baba Wawa in regular TV, so I won't be watching her in HD!

:rofl:

3. There are some things I just do not want to see on HD though...

Chimpy's mug comes to mind immediately....:puke:
Also I once saw Keith Richards on HD...:scared:

5. Fantasia's great big butt on Idol last night was a bit much in HD

I had to look away.

4. I've got an HD TV

had it for years, but only recently HD cable became available, but it's too expensive to justify. The bf keeps urging me to switch to satellite, so we may be doing that soon. But then that means I need an HD Tivo...

[Bake]

7. My HD cable only costs $6 a month more than I was paying for regular digital service

And MTV in HD is freakin' incredible - I was watching some band I didn't know and the dude's Telecaster - you could see every scratch of mojo on it! Didn't even particularly like the band, but the picture was amazing!!

9. What brand is it?

We're thinking about buying HD but the size would be smaller, 32" in our case.

[Bake]

10. We got the Toshiba REGZA - LCD, 1080p

Costco had 'em on sale for significantly less than other makes. The picture is as good as I've seen on any HD brand.

11. It's amazing with really effects-heavy movies, especially.

If you don't have an upscaling DVD player I highly recommend getting one. They're cheap, and the difference in picture quality is well worth it.

12. Is it a guy thing?

Because I don't give a flying phk about HD. I'm interested in hearing from female HD fans--are there any out there?

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. I'm one...

I can't watch sports on a non-HD set anymore. It's true, once you go HD, you never go back

16. football season is awesome on ESPNHD

it is a huge difference!

[Reverend_Smitty]

17. If I flip back and forth between HD and regular TV it takes a minute or two for my eyes to adjust

[Ava]

15. i love our HD

we have a big screen TV and quite a few of our channels are HD... watching lost in HD is awesome. discovery channel in HD is my favorite though - especially with shows like planet earth. of course the movie channels in HD are cool too. ;)

[Bake]

18. I can tell you that Mrs. Bake is blown away by it.

Totally totally blown away. We can't wait for LOST tonight in high def.

13. we just got a hdtv as well and a blue ray player.

love it.

[Bake]

19. Yep, Blu-ray is the next acquisition ...

But damn they're still a little pricey! Those prices gotta come down some before I bite the bullet.

20. the dvd player we had died about a year ago so we figured while we were there might as

well pick one up, after buying the tv, stand and hdmi 1 cables the blue ray seemed almost reasonable. they did have a Denon that $1400, we did not get that one, i thought that was maybe way more plater than we needed.
