How Many Here Have HDTV?

[koolmike]

...and do you like it?

I like mine but I'm already past the "WOW!" phase and am wondering if it's worth the extra money just to have a HD box.

For football and baseball games it's great...some sci-fi movies as well. But the classics in B&W, contemporary dramas, and sitcoms really don't demand a HD signal from me. I don't know if it's worth it anymore. How do you feel?

[Dr. Awesome]

When I was back home I had it. I feel the same way you do. I absolutely LOVE it when sports is on and some shows like The Office,The Deadliest Catch, and The First 48 but really the majority of the programming right now has no use for HD. I got rid of mine because the HD channels they gave me were just for the awe factor and really had no use afterward. When they start making a lot more channels available for HD then I'll switch back but for right now I'll stick to my upconverted dvds for my HD fix.

I have a hd ready tv but i have not got hd yet. I need to get with the times. I woud like it though.

[FrighT MasteR]

Depends on how much TV you watch really, not really worth it otherwise. I don't watch much TV, but my GF does, but it's not always necessarily HD. Sometimes I think it might be a waste of money, but I like having the option of clearer picture if there's something I'm interested on, which is why I've kept mine so far.

I got high-def. The "wow" factor is still there for me, but that's probably because I don't watch TV much since I'm always either working or going out. My cable company has a sweet line-up of HD channels so when I do have time to watch I got a lot to choose from.

Who do you have out there?

Verizon Fios?

I got IO digital cable. Optimum's got a deal where you get IO digital cable (220 channels with 45 HD channels), Optimum Online (super-fast internet connection), and Optimum Voice for $29.99 each per month if you get all three. Not a bad deal.

[Wrathborne]

Fuck HDTV, if I want a higher resolution image, I'll just sit closer to the tv screen.

Course since I stopped watching tv, I just youtube my entertainment.

[Gatsu18]

I don't watch tv personally. But my high def tv makes gaming amazing.

I'm paying that with Time Warner's Triple Play...but it goes up after 1 year.

I have a 50' plasma and watching the blue-ray of Day of the Dead was sex.

Love my tv and can't wait to get my media pc built and hooked up to it.

I had my comp hooked up to my old 42-inch plasma for a short while, but it hurt my eyes after a while, but then again I probably need glasses anyway. :shrugs:

[King_ov_Hell]

Negative, never watch television anyway so it would be a waste of money..

[koolmike]

What's there to watch in

Australia anywayz :D

[Il Duce]

I've never had it before but i do have an HDTV LCD TV which give's me a few channel's in HD due to having an HD Tuner in my TV but i don't have all channel's in HD which is what i want so i'm hoping to get it sometime down the road. I just don't know who to get i want to try Fios but it's not in our area as far as i know which is dumb cause i know someone who said he can get it and he's just down and around the road from me.

[koolmike]

I have a three year wait for Fios to reach me.

[King_ov_Hell]

All the crappy American TV shows the TV Stations buy..

[koolmike]

:lol: There ya go.

[woodenheart]

I do not have the pleasure yet.

[Joker]

I have it just for sports mostly,watching football is just crazy good,so it's worth it to me.for that alone.

Thats payback for the Wiggles I'm forced to watch everyday.:D

[dr_foreverclear]

we got ourselves a 50' vizio plasma...

when I'm not watching it I'm thinking about watching it and when i'm watching it i feel like rubbing one out to anything being displayed in 1080p....:ahheh:

i ahve my PC hooked up to mine as well. Samsung 42 plasma, kills the eyes, but watching movies through windows media player look good.

I hear good things about FIOS. I would probably try it out, but I'm already set up with cable and rather not deal with the hassle of switching over.

[koolmike]

I was going to attach my comp to my Bravia. After hearing you guys I prolly won't.

Fios is the shit. Cheaper than TWC to make it all even sweeter.

[FreddyKruger316]

Yeah. I heard the FIOS internet connection is really fast as well.

I dunno man, I spent 4 hours straight playing Vampire Bloodlines on my buddy's 42 inch plasma the other day and it was fuckin' SWEET!

I have my comp hooked up to my 37" LCD Vizio and it hasn't hurt my eye's but then again i already wear glasses.:ahheh:

You should be thanking me, the Wiggles are the shit!

[Dr. Awesome]

I have my 42" LCD hooked up with my comp and I love it. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard so I don't have to sit right up on it. It's great especially if I want to watch something on Watch-movies it gives me a bigger screen.

[Cannibal]

I don't watch enough tv to make upgrading worthwhile at the moment.

I think I need glasses cuz small things from a distance come out fuzzy for me, which was why I'd get a headache starring at the screen for a while, especially when looking at small icons for a game or something. Only plus is the easy access to watching films, like scott stated.

[koolmike]

Do you use a glare guard on your screen?

[Driden]

Can't say its worth it to recommend it to people but I personally have multiple HDTVs (3 Samsungs, 1 Sharp) and paying for HD service. There is a big difference to me and I always pick the HD version. As for my PC, I use a 23" Samsung 8000:1, 2ms. I can't use large monitors and running 1680x1050 is enough for me
