Ajd da rezimiramo par stvari:
Full HD (1920×1080) neće još bar dvije godine zaživiti u Rvata, budemo sretni ako zaživi i 720 (1280×720) 
Kako izgleda sadašnja analogna slika na full HD telki svi znamo, ne izgleda nikak.
Ili nedajbože VHS, DivX ili DVD slabije kvalitete.
SD emitiran u DVB-T neće izgledati tak jako loše ali ipak na velikom LCD-u neće ni to biti bog-zna-kak...
Dakle za normalno kućanstvo i gledanje telke u obzir dolazi za sad samo plazma.
Jer ne želim sa cijelom familijom skupit glavice i gledat LCD sa jednog mjesta u sobi nego hoću gledat telku gdje god sjeo
Bez veeeeelikih pixela ako je program emitiran u SD-u...
Za dvije-tri godine kad zaživi to sve kako treba-onda budemo razmišljali o nečem drugom.
U međuvremenu budem imal svoj stari CRT 4:3 72cm ili eventualno plazmu.
Tko je geekčina nek si kupi za komp 24" LCD i uživa u HD-u a telka bi ipak trebala i služit ostalim ukućanima za gledanje programa... |
nije baš sve tako crno... - prije pola godine sam uzeo 37" regzu 100Hz 1366x768- burn-in misaona imenica
- kut gledanja nije nikakav faktor - vidljivost odlična
- HD je HD tu se nema šta reći
- DVD skoro kao HD
- dobro kodiran Divx / Xvid (mislim prvenstveno na HDTV i DVD ripove) skoro kao DVD (šokantno ali istinito)
- SD (DVB-T) varira od programa do programa od divx kvalitete do DVD kvalitetenpr
sportski prijenosi, reklame i nova produkcija je u rangu DVDa a Kuda idu divlje svinje na HTVu je kao loš divx) - analogna TV - KATASTROFA (ako nema DVB-T signala bolje ostati na CRTu)
- igranje Bioshocka na metru dijagonale - neprocjenjivo

The Geek Wants OUT
by Ernest Cline
At first glance
I probably appear to be a somewhat ordinary,
somewhat average looking fellow.
Calm, harmless, at ease.
But this is by design.
You see, it is through decades of research and rigorous training that I have crafted this façade of normalcy.
And now, through intense concentration,
I am able to function in a social setting.
I can speak at length with educated people about
pertinent matters of public importance,
such as literature,
or the current political climate in Europe.
I am capable of conversing with you
without ever revealing that just underneath the surface
of this manufactured veneer
there hides an altogether different person.
A monster, some might say.
My alter-ego.
He is the opposite of the image I project.
He is the antithesis of Cool.
He is the LAST person you want to get trapped in a conversation with.
He is The Geek.
The obsessive science fiction movie watching,
comic book collecting,
Monty Python dialogue memorizing,
Dungeons and Dragons playing GEEK
that I struggle daily to keep hidden from the world.
But The Geek Wants Out.
He want to talk to you.
He wants to give you his doctoral dissertation on why
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
is the greatest fucking film of all time!
He wants to bitch slap you because
you’ve never seen Big Trouble in Little China.
What? Have you been living in a fucking cave?!
He wants to kick your ass in Star Wars Trivial Pursuit.
And he will.
Because he’s a fucking Geek.
And he wants his toys.
He wants the complete set
in mint condition,
still in the box.
He wants every item on the planet that is even remotely related to Ultraman.
Because Ultraman is Airwolf!
He could give a squirt of piss
about sports or politics or rhetoric.
Such things are of no consequence to him.
What matters is the release date of the next Lord of the Rings movie!
You see, The Geek can’t wait.
The Geek has no patience.
He wants what he wants when he wants it.
And all he wants is stupid shit!
He wants his own Tardis.
He wants his own light saber.
He wants to buy a DeLorean and he wants to drive it 88 miles per hour.
He wants movies.
He wants to see the Director’s Cut.
He wants the impossible to find Japanese bootleg with
6 minutes of never-before-seen footage.
He wants to watch Blade Runner. Again.
He wants to watch Brazil. Again.
He wants to watch A Clockwork Orange.
Again and Again!
But I deprive him of these things, as best I can,
until I can no longer ignore his voice
screaming in my head.
I am Jekyl. He is Hyde.
I am Bruce Banner. He is the Hulk.
Especially the Hulk from issues #272 to #378.
But no longer!
I am putting a stop to all this nerdy shit right now!
I’m an adult, for Christ’s sake!
And this body isn’t big enough for the both of us.
One of us has to go, and it’s gonna be him.
I banishing the Geek forever to the Phantom Zone,
just like in Superman II !
Because, in the end –
there can be only one.
