HDTV: Light Blogging for June ...
http://speedgibson.powerblogs.com/posts/1212207880.shtml


   We stimulated the economy tonight, buying a new HDTV, part of our
   family room remodel. We're not quite done with the dust yet so for now
   it sits on an old coffee table. The sound system isn't ready yet so
   for now it's just plugged straight into the cable box. For now, I'm
   just watching 480i or 720p, and with the TV speakers. No Blu-ray. No
   sub-woofer.
   And already, Holy Mother of God is this sweet! Even on the non-HD
   channels. So far, I've watched pieces of "Pirates of the Carribean",
   "America's Test Kitchen", "Flip This House", "Trackside" (NASCAR),
   "Forest Gump", "Law and Order", and Twins baseball. Baseball
   especially was amazing. I was right there, almost three-dimensional in
   appearance.
   Just the thing to watch the Republican State Convention or District
   281 School Board meetings.
