How many of you have HDTV?

[Baked]

I have a Samsung 23" LCD HDTV in my room for console gaming and movie viewing. It's connected to my computer, so I don't even have to burn movies and videos to DVDs anymore. I got a HD box from Comcast, but can't seem to figure out how to view HD programming. :mad;

 

[buck]

I have had mine for almost 2 years now.

 

[Fritzo]

I have THIS TV and THIS home theater with THIS rack. It's AWESOME

I'll have to take some pics. I'd recommend that rack to anyone with a flat screen that doesn't want to booger up their walls.

Wow. Even though this is a tech forum, the results are kind of surprising. I didn't know such a high percentage of people here had HDTVs. Good poll.

You kidding? I'd watch ANYTHING in HD. I've had it for a few months now and it's just not wearing off. HDNet rocks- Friday nights they have this show with some doofus that wanders around the country looking at odd things. Last week he was a Pron Star Kareokee! HD BEWBIES GALORE!!!

I didn't realize so many had HDTVs. I suppose this is slightly biased because this is a tech forum, but wow! I'll had an option for those who already have HDTVs. I guess alot here are anticipating/already have 360s and PS3. Interesting.

40" Sony LCD Bravia.

 

[1sikbITCH]

I have a Panny 42" EDTV (852 X 480), which is neither HD nor Standard.

 

[JDrake]

Standard in my room
gonna get one for college, though
2-6 months

 

[imported_LoKe]

Nope, don't know when I will, either.

 

[Special K]

I couldn't afford one now, but I rarely watch TV anyway, so I would find it hard to justify buying one.

Maybe once HD-DVD/blueray becomes mainstream I will have more of an incentive.

 

[Wag]

I have a new 56" Samsung DLP and a DVHS D-Theater deck. The PQ really blows me away. D-Theater tapes have an even higher bitrate than broadcast HDTV, ~24mbps.

 

[Pocatello]

I live in Pocatello, ID, aka nowhwere. The only local channel that is broadcast is HD is NBC and PBS. The local cable company only carries a few HD channels, TNT and HBO. It's not worth it to own a HDTV yet.

Do you guys ever feel you watch too much boob tube? How many hours do you think you watch TV a week? I personally always feel like I'm wasting my time when I do that. It's why I watch a new movie about once every month or two.

 

[Rickten]

just picked up an infocus in76 since the NEC plasma I was looking at was going to cost me 5 grand shipped to my home.

this should tie me over till 1080 plasmas come down in price although having a 100" screen puts a huge smile on my face and can't believe I was going to pay 5 grand for only 50"

Unless you work or study 18 hours a day, you're just "wasting" your time on something else

My TV watching (almost all DVDs now) is around 10 hours a week, though close to zero this week since I spent 20 hours playing Oblvion

No HDMI HDCP so I'm screwed

I have a 36" XBR400 that I got back in late 2000 or so. I don't imagine myself getting HDTV, given that I only use this thing to watch dvd's anyway (I do not get cable or satellite tv, and I do not watch tv at all.)

 

[Linflas]

Toshiba 62HM95 DLP set.

 

[Ameesh]

i have three in the house

 

[KouklatheCat]

I have two HDTVs in the house. I want to get one for my son's room but there isnt much childrens programing in HD (atleast not on Comcast).

HDTV rocks.

 

[preslove]

Don't have a tv. Once I graduate I *might* buy a 1080p tv and use it as a monitor. My laptop is sufficient now for dvds, though.

 

[CorCentral]

50" Panasonic 50px50u Plasma. 2005 mdl

Here are couple pics if my setup. Remember, the couch is 10' wide and is a "dual recliner" Just in case it all looks small from my cheapy camera. I'm still not done with painting the walls, so the sheathing on the rear wires is at a standstill untill then

Right now during school (18 credits) I work about 45 hours/week doing two jobs. During my freetime, I like to learn things so I've taken up photography about 3 years ago and plan to start taking piano lessons and buy a nice Yamaha or Casio keyboard (something under $1,000) this summer. I guess relaxing just isn't my cup of tea!

 

[Rage187]

I've had 4 HDTV's.

I bought a 30" CRT HDTV in 2000
a 51" RPTV in 2004
a 32" LCD in 2005
and a 37" LCD this year

I'm willing to be the 35% is made entirely up of the "Still LIve at Home/No Money since i'm in college" poster and the occasional I hate TV poster.
