A basic primer on HDTV...

Courtesy PC World. To folks like my brother, this will seem very
basic, but it is a good article for those who don't yet comprehend the
differences in HD.

Now if someone would write about aspect ratio. 4:3 programs are not
meant to be stretched to fill the whole 16:9 screen under any
circumstances. I know your HDTV can do it, but please, stop the madness!

As a 'tekkie', I still tell folks the same thing with this new
technology as I did with older products.

Do you like the look (sound) of it? Buy it. Not everyone can see the
differences between resolutions, so there is no reason to buy
something they can't observe any difference with. Same applies with
audio systems. Can I tell the difference between 5.1, 7.1, 9.1, 11.2
audio in my 200 square foot living room? Nope. So my 5.1 is just fine.
Some people can't tell the difference between stereo and monaural
sound, so don't by 10 grand worth of crap if you can't appreciate it.

and when that friend of yours comes to your house and bitches about
it, tell them you can't see their shit from your house.
