Are you fucking kidding me. 1080p has been the standard on new TVs since like 2008 in US. The fact you own a 720p is not the norm but either you bought HD when it was first coming out or simply didn't shop around well. I bougth my 1080p in feb2010 from costco in february (not a black friday deal) ... its a 46" Sony and was $750. While its true broadcast is pretty much only in 720p, that does not mean the TVs themselves are. |
It's true man, look it up. In fact, until mid-2010, not even 50% of US households owned even one HDTV set. Most of which were/ still are 720p, as it's far cheaper and therefore more mass-market friendly. 1080p sets are typically for high-income earners and are still relatively new to most people. Bear in mind people like us who are tech junkies find all of this baffling, but just remember that 50% of the population doesn't even know the name of the Vice President, let alone the difference between a 720p or 1080p TV. All they see is 'HD' and the lower price.
