Enjoyed the review of the BD-P1000, but a lot more time's needed to really prove the worth of either BlueRay or HD-DVD for me. What I'd really like to see, though, are some reviews of the new Sony 1080p LCD projection models supposedly coming out next month...KDF-55A2000SXRD, etc. What are you hearing about Sony's reliability? Some in the forums aren't so pleased. Also, how about some comps between the Samsung 87 or 88 series, their 5679 LED light engine model, Sony, Toshiba, et al? Looks like the next year is going to have a ton of 1080p TVs to choose from. That plus BlueRay vs. HD-DVD...busy time for prospective buyers!

I really love cnet's reviews of TV's and projectors especially with the "geek box", but I am getting real frusturated.

Why, because I want a 1080p tv and there so many hot tv's such as the westinghouse and those new toshiba's and samsungs.

Good cnet please atleast review the new 1080p toshiba and westinghouse TV's. The LVM42W2 fromk Westinghouse has gotten rave reviews but I really want cnet's take.

The Toshiba 62HM195 is out and it has a lot of features, can cnet review that one or which one is in its class.

I love Cnet its just that sometimes they take long to review things and I don't want to make a wrong purchase. It will be my first purchase of a large hdtv. Hey! - I am 21 and many newcomers to electronics like to get onboard but cnet appears to expose flaws of tv's more than other sites.

Will that's what I have to say for now.

It's going to be a few years before either one of these formats is really affordable. DVD on my 47inch projection HDTV is plenty good enough for me. I didn't buy early, and I didn't pay an arm and a leg for my setup.

Don't buy blu-ray right now. Stick with DVDs until Blu-Ray has good quality, then switch!!!

So, please tell me how does one take a dvd quality video and make it hd? Do they refilm it? ROFLMAO. It's sony! What do you expect. They aim for the stars, but always hit where the sun doesn't shine.

There were plenty of miserable transfers between formats as upgrades occurred from cassette to CD and VHS to DVD. Those who desire to purchase one of these new formats should be warned off specific titles; that's good. But the real issue isn't whether HD-DVD or Blu-Ray is better; it's whether either format is distinctly better than DVD (on a widescreen TV) in the typical home situation (ie, a TV less than 42" in size at typical living room viewing distances). I've read contradictory opinions. But those generally saying "yes" have already spent their money on a new system, and those saying "no" are independent reviewers (ie, they're not trying to justify money spent).
