I was a skeptic until getting one. HDTV is fantastic for sporting events, and pretty much nothing else (maybe scenic travel and nature shows). Even so, I’m not sure I could discern the difference between regular hdtv and the ultra version though.
Agreed. I think HD is very situational. It’s good for certain types of programming (like sports), but of relatively little benefit for things like the news. Would you want to see Keith Olbermann in high-def? I sure don’t (for that matter, I’d rather not see him in standard-def either).
