Nice to see some educated discussion going on here. I haven't visited AVS lately, but I hear it's been pretty brutal in the flame war...
For my two cents, I reckon there's little point in HD unless you have a 50" screen or bigger. Sure, most of us do who contribute here, but what's that in terms of the general population? I feel sorry for those folks with 30" LCDs who think HD is going to change their world. No wonder most "regular" folks are jaded by the whole thing...
