Hi John,
You are right, HDTV support does make a huge difference. Europe has had their bout
with HDTV some time in the 80's. I remember when really expensive sets were sold in
Scandinavia. These were huge and affordable flat screens were not invented yet.
Shortly after that the programming fizzled and then some people ended up with what
the press there called the largest and most expensive nightstands ever. But of course
we are now two decades later and the US consumer has always been more willing to
spend on fun stuff, even if it's just to watch the baseball games in king size
fashion.
Personally I sometimes think whether mankind really needs HDTV. But that's besides
the point. I just won't spend that much dough on something like TV. Just figure how
many tickets for a good stadium seat you can buy for the price of an HDTV set.
Regards, Joerg
