Or he's got a paper bag on your head...

After I upgraded to HDTV, I sold my Wii and bought a 360 lol

I think that pretty much everyone who wants an HDTV has had one for years. One of my buddies replaced his 6 year old HDTV last year.

What surprises me is the amount of people with HDTVs that still use cable instead of satellite. That's astounding, because cable has so little in terms of HD to offer, charges more, and has lower HD quality as well. And some cable companies don't even offer free HD DVRs or charge like $10/mo+ for HD DVRs.

Yay! you joined the big boys and left the childrens era!

Yes,  HDTV is just a tad better on Wii (Component cable 480p). But it is a hell lot better in 360 with HDMI. I had a 360 before Wii but that one RROD.

Of course plasmas are still far better than LCD. The only advantage of LCD is the price with small sizes.
As soon as you start entering big sizes (50+"), there is no price advantage anymore. But the best plasmas are expensive (we're talking 6000 € tax included here). That's what I will replace my current HDTV with when it dies, but there's no way I'll put so much money in a TV, so the price will have to go down.

Also, you can start referencing all the bad HDTV in this thread. Just asks every one that says SD looks bad on his HDTV which one he got: that's a HDTV model you can avoid right away. The electronics in the TV is what decides a huge part of the quality of the image output. A good HDTV should be able to enhance any SD source and make it look as good or better than on SDTV, not worse. On mine, every Wii games looks fantastic, as do GC games, the image was actually enhanced. That's the same part that will decode 1080i and decide if 1080i@60 gets you 30 frames or 60 frames.
LCD being cheap, they nearly never output SD correctly, having very bad circuitry in most cases, and poorer images.
That's not even taking into account the inferior technology problems. But a forum like AVS can show you this.
Perhaps when my HDTV dies, HDTV techs will be more mature than the mess they are now, where you have to put 6000 € in a TV for it to be decent (as my HDTV model is discontinued, unfortunately).

Congrats on the HDTV upgrade.An Element HDTV isn't that bad for your first HDTV,but why did he pay $40 for an HDMI cord--he could've gotten one off of Amazon for less than $2.

So anyone have anything bigger then my 1080p projector? on a 108 inch screen?

Id rather support our local cable company rather then go dish.  We have lke 8 tvs in our house and it be impossible to have them all on dish.

IM in total agreement, but id still rahter use my old SD tv for viewing dvds.  They look better on the tube then my sony LCD, but im using xbox on the lcd for movie viewing and it upscales like crap
