Something else to consider is tv signal tech. In the US we've
currently got 5 major types:
- Analog (NTSC) over the air (OTA)
- Analog cable
- Digital over the air (ATSC)
- Digital cable (QAM)
- Satellite (DVB)

Damn you. I really didn't need to see that. :-)

It's a receiver.
Yes to all your questions.
10 amps allows for 2 5.1 zones, or allows for biamping a single 5.1 system.
There are people that are positively drooling for this thing:

Umm.
What does it do?

And what is the multiple HDMI connectors for. Does it take Component or other
inputs and allow for output via HDMI? How would that
work if you have multiple sources. Does it switch them all through a single
HDMI connector? So you could have a Video using

My Toshiba 34' HD CRT handles SD signals very nicely.
They have made great strides in SD picture quality, as my built in 2000 Toshiba
40' HD RPTV looked like carp with SD.

It's only purpose is not just to restrict.
Many newer DVD players (e.g. Sony 975, Panasonic S97) have HDMI outputs.
720p/1080i copyrighted content will only be available over HDCP compliant
connections. There were some early DVD players that allowed 1080i output via
component; the companies g
Well if this thing really works, maybe you could project your CRT TV...

very interesting, thanks Kwang. I had read that about HD and I think that is
the main change I would like to make, maybe bring the screen size up a bit and
get better sound.

Why do you recommend HDMI? I'm personally put off by tech thats only

I'm looking at 27" CRTs (space constraints). I was considering HD-ready sets
but I keep reading that these sets do not display a Standard Definition
picture very well, and SD is likely to be the bulk of my viewing for a
while. Tho

I still have my Bang & Olufsen Beovision 7702 4:3 ratio TV built in 1984...
When comparing picture quality with a modern TV, you would have to prise it
from my cold dead hand before I give it up for a new one Seriously, I
fear the day it blows up and cannot be repaired... Everyone that sees it
Great summary, thanks! Guess I'll save my money for a while!

If you are buying a plasma TV, you probably aren't too worried about the cost
of maintenance.

Great article about the newest TV technologies and their pricing.
Don't go with anything less than a HDTV. I would say if you can't afford an
HDTV now, save and buy one early next year.
I would go for a 32" to 36" as well. More if

You know, I meant to send this to another mailing list, all of whose
members are male, hence my specific pronoun. However, as I value the
opinion of this lists' members just as much, I welcome feedback from our
