HDTV 101

TV shouldn't be as complicated as HDTV is.
Before I bought my 40-inch LCD set, I researched the heck out of available HDTVs and pored over every article I could find on the subject. I also successfully pitched two HDTV-themed stories for The Washington Times so I could get up to speed on the topic. I still felt lost.

This weekend I'll be posting a primer on HDTV, an article with the basics about the format and some helpful links for those thinking about making the HDTV plunge.
I can't say enough about HDTV -- both the clarity and widescreen ratio make it unbeatable. But it sure is confusing.

Looking forward to readding this. I am totally clueless, but wanting to take the leap and make a purchase!

No shame in being clueless! The HD manufacturers have done a lousy job of educating the public about their products. And the whole Blu-ray/HD DVD war made things worse.
