PS: HDTV sales have completely erupted in parts of europe. In the nordic countries, 50 % of all TV's will be HDTV's by 2010. Please don't tell me that no one buys HDTV's just because you can't afford one (me neither, yet)...

They don't buy them for HD they buy them because they are flat

So the fact that the image quality is a lot better has nothing to do with it? Okay... Since you seem to have a sound knowledge of the hi-fi biz. Maybe they should just stick to the first color TV's then, they were very small. It doesn't matter since picture counts for nothing. This is like saying that people got CD players only because it looked cool, and that capacity/sound quality/practicality had nothing to do with it. No, just no.

Actually, a lot of people mainly (40+) do buy the TV's because they are flat and not because they look better. Most 40+ people will say they can't see the difference, they just like it because it takes less space.
