you:

I'm trying to get used to it (the television) as it is an entirely different picture from my 50 inch Fujitsu plasma in my bedroom. There doesn't seem to be any green glob issue or the usual culprits but it almost seems like a "white haze" over the picture compared to the plasma which is like looking through a window. (especially with a good high-definition signal!)

I am waiting for the 65 nm chips to update this computer and then play around with a new video card connected to the HDMI input.

me:

Did you get the 60" or 70" XBR2? There seems to be quite a bit of variability in all types of HDTVs being produced now, each with its advantages and problems. This technology is still very new and evolving. It's hard to compare CRTs that had 60 years or so of evolution to the HDTVs currently available. Still I find it amazing that a picture as clear and large as the XBR's can be produced from a piece of silicon about 1/2" long on a side. A couple of million pixels out of these chips seems remarkable.

Right now it seems that LCDs have the best shot at surviving into the 80" range that the market will want in a couple of years? Of course there's always the "soon to be released" SED? HDMI 1.3 is another factor that will double bandwidth and create more opportunities for improvement. This whole TV, audio, PC, gaming etc. convergence thing is definitely a work in progress.

I'll be going to CES in January and I’ll post about what's happening there.
