Damn!
I just about settled the fact that my New Year's present will be 34pw9818 HDTV with dvd963sa DVD/SA player (FLI 2301 chip), and now this!!!! Damn you, Philips!!! Why must you toy with me like this?!?! Aaaahhhh!!!
/regaining composure
Anyway, head to http://www.widescreen.philips.com/pdfs/
It has PDFs of promotional brochures for 2003 products. Matchline has finally arrived in the US! Of particular interest (at least to me):
Direct view HDTVs:
30pw9819 and 34pw9819 (yes, nineteen!) - Pixel Plus, Digital Natural Motion, DVI connector (!!)
DVD players:
DVDQ65 - 13 bit/108 MHz video processor, Multichannel SACD (!) with Advanced Bass Management
DVDQ75 - Digital Crystal Clear, Digital Photo and Music Manager(!), 720p line doubling(!), DVI connector (!!!)
/losing composure
Why?!?! Why do you, Philips, must dangle this in front of my nose when my HDTV dream was so close to be fulfilled?? Why must I spend another month after month staring at 19" TV, while awaiting above equipment to appear "at a Philips authorized dealer near you" real soon now... Why must I pursue the best and the most "future proof", while normal people are happily buying $500 4:3 analog sets (with $69 APEX DVD player on top) at local BestBuy???? Why? WHY?
/completely losing it, turning into whimpering mess
