I'm in that same boat - not that I could afford a new set if it happened. But I really like those new LED sets.

Ah - see, mine's from '07, and LCD technology seemed to be progressing in leaps and bounds at that time. I love my Westinghouse (ESPECIALLY the multitude of inputs on the rear panel), but now I'm seeing stuff with a much faster refresh rate, and in certain scenes (and I notice it far more on certain networks), I can't help but see the blockiness of pixelation.

Time marches on, and what once was fabulous and new is now old and quaint...

Anyhoo, I think I'll be Trekking on BluRay.

Let the wild rumpus start!

24 months changes things a great deal, eh? Like the small gray hairs on your/my temples..?

I'll get a 1080p LCD when Dark Angel is released in HD widescreen, and not before!

Just thought I'd say that a lot of the shops that play BluRays leave the 'MotionPlus' option on. MotionPlus is GREAT for sport, but if you leave it on during films, it looks awful. It basically smooths everything out and makes it look fake (I think it's supposed to make it more 'real' interestingly enough....)

I'm not sure if this is what you saw, but just be aware that this happens often (at least here in Australia).

What the heck is with all you "one television household" people?? You all live in one-room apartments or something? Yer supposed to have one for the basement, one for living room, one for bedroom, one for rec room, one for kitchen. Get with it. I don't even have a TV channel to recieve and I know this stuff.
