[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 162558, member: 175089"] Saturday afternoon coffee and fag ramble reply warning. Well if HD is widescreen, then replace HD with SD. Still the same answer? Of course not - everyone's just gotta have a widescreen these days! To make my point and still keep the peace, overall, I am simply implying that the UK has paid the price for being clever in the late nineties. To my knowledge, there isn't a single major territory in the world, where HD is now commonplace, that ever bothered with SD widescreen. It saddens me that there are plenty of numb-nuts who will be cajoled into buying a flat panel (see that article). They take it home, they'll move everything from the flying ducks to the sofa and the motorbike spares to make it fit somewhere. And at the end of it all they'll just sit there and watch 24/7 squashed 4:3 - albeit very large.'O'-red 'O'-red Its not clever - Its a disgrace. Hire Purchase should be outlawed. The rest of europe, too, doesn't seem to give a toss about HD. HD might be the [I]next[/I] thing, but, given the dire quality of most local stuff, why bother. Let's see what happens after the world Cup - when most of us will have seen the benefits of HD down the pub. Flat panels are a big thing for me (sic) and an SED flat panel is the goal. However, I am in no position to jump on the HD bandwagon right now - I would either have to stop drinking for 18 months or kill the cat or both. Mind, I would probably turn to drink for killing the cat. [Based on €1,600.00]. OT: I was in luck recently when a friend* brought round the next episode of that US series based on an island (if you get my driftwood). I wanted to find out what was down that secret shaft. It was in HD and I watched it on my computer. Simply stunning. P.S. as of Tuesday this week, guess which was flying off the shelves faster: 1). DVD player with HDMI/DVI o/p (for your PC monitor, yum) or 2). EffOff Large Expensive Flat Panel? Mark. [/QUOTE]
