HDTV

Heard of this?

I'm kidding! Of course you have. In fact, if you're anyone I'm related to, you probably have one already and look down on me because I don't have HD. Well, now you have to look... over at me. I've joined the Twenty-First Century.

What I didn't realize is how good it really is. I've seen a handful of digital movie presentations in theaters (the earliest I can think of being "Attack of the Clones"), and it was pretty sweet. What's amazing to me is, the TV I just picked up at Best Buy for less than a grand (Samsung LN-T4061F, in case you're interested), has the same resolution as that movie theater! Yikes! How cool am I?

Of course, the theater chains are piloting screens with twice the resolution (4096x2160). I figure it'll be at least six months before these are available to the public for their home theaters.
