Just another reason why I've not bought an HDTV yet. Damn greedy
corporate bastards. Buying a new TV? Wait a little bit, take no less
than 2-3 HDMI inputs and a direct LAN port (no DVI adapter).

or DVI. People utilizing component will be the ones to feel the burn. I
mispoke though. I do have a 29" Zentith CRT HDTV in my bedroom. I just
never use it so I tend to forget it supports HD. When I bought it, its
days were already numbered as it only supports component and RGB (no
DVI). No nned for the consortiums to fret however. I'm sure their
encryption will (if not already) be cracked anyway.

No actually. I must have done a real number on your feelings huh? note I
said Dream TV.

okay, what's your point?

Thanks for all that unecessary fluff.
All of that is already on the market, less LAN port which Samsung just
announced in its 460pn widescreen LCD.

Great! Send him a letter. There are already 1080P TVs at Best Buy. Maybe
not native, but not much point yet.

Yeah, sales are doing really well actually. I think my budget will
probably be 10k so we'll see. that Samsung is retailing for about 6-8 K
at the corp sector. I'm sure it'll drop as it matures and as Samsung
markets consumers. The rest will be a given I think (less maybe the
card reader which isn't really needed with my setup anyways, not too
mention flash based media evolving all the time). Thanks for your concern!
