[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 162614, member: 176912"] Funny stuff. O-Ha I agree that the vast majority of the Great British Public won't have the stomach for HD after the preceding fiascos but there [B]is[/B] a niche market very much [B]alive and well[/B] that can't spend its money fast enough. 16:9 TV's didn't wipe out 4:3 IMHO. What did [I]that[/I] was the fact that manufacturers appeared to stop supplying retailers with 4:3 sets - and pretty quickly (in what I consider to be a double-quick timeframe for such a dramatic change in the [B]TV sector[/B]) you couldn't buy one for love nor money!!! Personally, I waited and waited, and then waited some more until my nerves couldn't hold out any more.... until there was only ONE 29" Sony 4:3 telly left in the shop - and then bought it for peanuts. That'll do me for 7 years I thought. When those 7 years are up I'll go HD/flatscreen if at all possible, because I've seen it in the States too, and it makes SD look like an animated kids crayon drawing. :D [/QUOTE]
