Am planning on watching this but I doubt they'll tell us anymore than what we know already.

They basically did the usual schpiel about what the point of Hi-Def TV is and then reviewed a few sets. Only to come to the conclusion that none of the current selection are really up to much.

And they also claimed that only plasma and LCD could be HiDef Ready, completely ignoring DLP rear and front projectors.

Also no mention of component sockets, just that you had to have HDMI to receive it. No mention of minimum screen resolutions and why no top end plasmas (even though they flashsed a few inserts of the Pio and Pan) or DLPs mentioned

It was basically "Info for the Masses".

Fortunately Forum members are better informed.

Now that would certainly make me consider making the Hi-Def upgrade.
