Ok. I am an anal shopper. I'll admit it. I drive my wife CRAZY becuse i do SO much research on any purchase of consequence that it consumes me.
We decided to get a new big screen TV. So i have been researching and education myself on the technology and the ins and outs of HDTV. I consider myself a very knowledgeable and very tech savvy.
I have what I think is a simple question, but I am sure I will get no-so-simple responses.
Here is my frustration and concern...
I have heard the hype about HD and it is supposedly undistiputiable that the image quality is worth EVERY penny versus current analog televeision.
So I walk into a Best Buy, Circuit City, local Electronic Super Store, etc. and walk to the Digital TV area and ask a salesperson....
"Is THAT a High Definition signal I am looking at?" and he answers; "Yes it is."
and my wife and I say.... "Oh".... Not "WOW", "INCREDIBLE", or "I HAVE TO HAVE IT"; but merely "Oh, looks pretty good"
Yes I can tell it looks better than our 28" analog convex tube at home, no question. But with all the hype I have seen and read, shouldnt I be saying "I absolutlely have to get that TV becuase it looks SO DAMN INCREDIBLE???"
Am I missing something or am I the world's toughest critic on HDTV?
Please help, I want to be "Wowed" before I drop $3000 on a television. Thank you in advance for all your comments.
