HDTV who's got one?
I just bought a 32" Sony and it fucking rocks

The only thing I dont like is some of my local channels (CBS and NBC) have that annoying bar on each side of the screen croping the video size

So what do other HDTV owners think?

Is it worth the money?

I have one, yo can get rid of that bar by going into the menu and telling the TV to use the 16:9 screen, or something like that...

Who doesn't have HD these days? TVs are so cheap these days. During football HD is a requirement.

Football is AMAZING in HD

everything is so crisp and clear

BUT I wouldnt say they are so cheap

still over $1k for a decent unit.

They have come down in price though. I got mine for 500.00 less then my buddy did 3 weeks after he bought the same exact tv

Yes. I must say buying less than 1920x1080 is not a smart idea, because the new movieformats, like blu-ray, will be in 1920x1080. And buying it without HDMI is stupid !

I have 2. So yes, I like. :-)

The bar is because most shows were shot in 3:4. It annoys my roommate too so he sets the mode to Fill.

I have to pay 2k for a 40'' LCD, 1366x768, and I got a great price for it, since it costs more in shops.

I'm notoriously cheap on everything except my TV...61 inch Toshiba LCD HDTV and couldn't live without it...I have it tweaked out just right for picture, sound, etc. and luckily all our local channels broadcast in HD, so I watch the HD channels.

Forest, your TV should have a way of adjusting the picture size. I know mine has 6 different settings/aspect sizes.

I know on mine, the dig cable box controls those lines. Try hitting the # sign on the remote, it should go through normal, stretch, zoom 1 and zoom 2...Stretch is what you are looking for. Hope it works for ya...

I have HDTV, but here in Holland we only have like 3 HD channels. 1 movie channel, National Georapic, and NLHD1 (which broadcasts the same programs all the time) so its' pretty useless here
Lots of our programs are not even widescreen yet hahah we are WAY behind in NL witht that kind of stuff

Am I the only one who thinks the bars are good and that the stretched version looks rediculous? If it wasn't meant for widescreen, people look short and fat.

I can't be bothered to pay the extra monthly fee from my cable company for HDTV - $20 / month - no thanks!

TV is HD ready 50" Sony LCD rear projection

Thats weird, because I heard mostly the exact opposite. Since xbox360 is in HD, it should look great on HD TVs. And that was what I heard.

Most HD TV channels are highly compressed, so yea, you get the high res picture but plenty of artifacts as well. Sports is worst for this! HD is still beautiful to watch on a big screen tho, but the best experience will be from HD-DVD/bluray discs that dont have to crunch the bitrate to shit.
