Alright, I am 7 days away from buying the Pioneer 64'. I have been dreaming about getting this TV for as long as I can remember. All of the sudden I am getting cold feet. I have two major concerns:
1) I will be using digital cable and Comcast's HDTV converter box for the channels that broadcast in HDTV, but what I am worried about the picture quality on the non-HDTV channels, am I going to be disappointed with the picture quality. I am been shopping at high-end dealers who only have their picture signal coming from satellites and DVDs, so I haven't been able to see what standard cable looks up. I know picture quality is in the eye of the beholder but, if someone can give an idea of what to expect. The last thing I need to hear from my wife is, "We spent $3500 on this TV and the 27' in the bedroom looks better !"
2) I am quite sure I will not have any problem adjusting to stretch mode of TV, my wife may have a harder time dealing with the distortion. I will have to ween her gradually and I am worried about burn-in. Am I correct in saying that I if I properly adjust the contrast, burn in will not occur for years to come ?
Please calm my fears.
Thanks
