I don’t like half the way solutions. That’s probably why I still don’t have HD Compatible TV in my house. I just can’t buy 720p/1080i TV because it is not a true HD, but 1080p TVs are still expensive and struggling from limited availability. I actually don’t really understand this situation. 1080p HD-DVD and Blue Ray disks are available in any Best Buy or Circuit City, but 1080p TV sets are still rare. That’s why I enjoy any new announcements about 1080p compatible hardware.
