Yup. They are selling a product.

Actually, the signal in the store I bought from was pretty bad. The fed each of the TVs SD content which doesn't look great on a large screen. Had to get the salesman to switch to HD. Also, they set up each of the TVs to stretch the 4:3 SD stations to fit the widescreen format of the TV. This looks goofy.

I work in this field and have had a lot of opportunity to "play" with different equipment. DLP TVs are the best right now, IMO. Plasma, too expensive; LCD, screen door effect.

I have a big-screen projection TV at home -- we set it up this way to avoid burning in the screen at different rates for normal TV vs. widescreen. You'd be amazed at how quickly your brain adjusts for it... it only took an hour or two and now everything looks "normal" at that setting.
