Turns out not to be as simple as stopping by Fry's and snagging a TV. Gotta get the cable upgraded to digital and get the converter box. Gotta get TIVO upgraded to HD so we can see what we record in HD. Learned something really critical (I think) about HDTV - response time is more important that refresh rate. The boxes I'm looking at have response time from 8ms down to 2. I'm being told to get the 2ms and 240Hz refresh. Gotta go up to Colorado this week for the parole hearing so it looks like this may be next weekend's project. Missed a deal at Fry's for a high end 47" Samsung - they were throwing in a Blu-Ray player - 1400 bucks. But, yeah, the picture quality is as different as going to color from my B&W TV.

I can't remember if he's got HD or plasma -- I wouldn't know, but wow... it looks fantastic -- like being right there. Incredible picture. He also TIVO's stuff, so he always has something interesting to watch. I'm envious. :) Susan H _______________________________________________ dba-OT mailing list dba-OT at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-ot Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-OT mailing list dba-OT at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-ot Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
