Playing a THX mastered DVD with the ATI DVD software in the PC
connected native resolution DVI to a 50" Samsung DLP set, the
difference _isn't_ all that dramatic and yes, we see LOTS of HD from
the netwoorks in LA, all OTA.
The BluRay demos I've seen in the stores aren't nearly impressive
enough to plop down 4 bills for a player. And since we were 'early
adoptors', meaning the set is 4 1/2 years old and has only DVI and no
HDMI, I suspect it won't respond properly to the DRM so it won't even
work.
The computer world already sells enough stuff that doesn't work right
without the TV joining the party.
