You are quoting all my research I did for you! You B!
:)
Actually, every good blog post about high-def TVs should use Bale's image.
The money spent feeding the TV is an excellent point that I never really thought about.
My one additional gem...
Most people who I know who do not like high-def television do not like the way *standard* definition programming appears on their new set. Most cable systems have more standard definition channels than high-def. Because of this, most people will still watch standard-def at least 50% of the time.
If your standard def looks horrible, you are not going to be happy. Good sets will make standard def look good.
If you can't find a store that will show you everything you want to know, just look around the avsforum. Those guys know 10 times more than any normal user would ever need to know.

Oh yeah, stole all my research from you. :-)
Great point on the standard def on a high def set. Funny how they don't have low res video on display in the stores, isn't it? It would definitely be worth asking to see some standard definition. In my area, we have the potential of getting eight whole HD stations, so other than an upsampling DVD player (which is only technically HD although looks *awesome*), the vast majority of what I'll be watching is SDTV.
One note: I'm an engineer, not a businessey-person. In fact, the engineering center at CU Boulder is right next to the School of Business. There was always some animosity between the two camps fueled, at least in part, by the fact that they got to enjoy Boulder's social scene while we got magnetic key cards to let us into the 24 hour labs. Which we used. A lot. Anyway, I'm not an economist, so please forgive any improperly used economistic terms.

Or you can save a ton of cash by not owning a television or having cable.

I like watching tv, the most important thing for me is the clarity of tv.
