The picture quality really is nicer, yes, but not nice enough for me to shell out a couple grand.
HD TV is basically a rip off. Sure you get a nice picture but is not worth paying so much money. Besides now they're claiming that newer HD TV should have some chip gadget to get full quality. Like WTF? What's the point of buying a new tv if it doesn't have full quality. Bah!

Well, yeah, I have a plasma, and it's a high-end Panasonic, and the burn-in is still there on plasma's... 馃槵

It all looks the same to me.
(says the same person who didn't know what framerate was)
HDTV has been out for some time now. It is the next-generation of TV's. HDTV is basically higher resolution (HighDefintionTeleVision).
Now tell me that you DO know what resolution is?
Look Tru Slice, if you want to be sarcastic and have some negative remark to everything I say and you keep on trying act like you are above me then I rather you just not answer my questions.
After all you must have asked questions along to way to figure out what something is. If you don't then you never find out the answers so act intelligent or just don't respond.
Anyway, I know all of that, I want to know how you can tell if you have one or not. Is it on the tv somewhere or are you suppose to know by just looking at the picture on the screen.
