I can confirm the mesmerising power of the 42" plasma. I have enough ADD to make the watching of movies I've seen before problematic (even ones I like). With few exceptions, I just get fidgety. For the past few weeks, I've been watching movies I only have a passing interest in, just because, well, holy crap, the lush detail.
I am sort of hoping this is a honeymoon period and I'll get over it, before I have to watch every movie in the Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer catalogue again, just to see exactly where Nicholas Cage's hair ends and "movie magic" begins. That said, having seen, say, Chris Berman on NFL Primetime in HD, I'm not sure I'd want an HD camera pointed at my mug. It's rather unforgiving, and unless Dove face-cream are going to make me a lushly pampered spokes-bloke, I think it's back to, "he's got a great face.... for radio." If HD cameras were cheaper, and I hadn' t splurged on a big telly, I'd buy one... Mark Day http://videotheplanet.wordpress.com/ http://markdaycomedy.blip.tv/ http://www.youtube.com/markdaycomedy
