| Viper1 said: Max, good point but so many people are still confused on analog TV vs digital TV. Digital TV is what we are about to switch to however, digital TV does not equate to HDTV. 480 resolution TV signals will still be transmitted for possibly decades while the digital SD TV's will also be sold for quite a long time from now. |
I thought biggest TV manufacturers don't even make SD TV's anymore. At least here in Finland no one seems to sell SD TV's. I checked several websites selling TV's and NONE of them have SD TV's on sale (biggest retailer had over 100 HD TV models and not even a single SD TV). Samsung and Sony don't even have SD TV:s listed on their websites, at least not on their regional websites.
Then again, we moved to digital TV over year ago but our TV signals here are still SD and will probably be for a long time. And you only need a cheap set-top box to watch digital TV and most people here decided to buy that one instead of new TV (there isn't much benefit from new TV if signal is still SD). That could happen in USA also. You don't actually need new expensive TV to watch digital TV.
