Tell me about it. I spend a lot of time at Best Buy standing in front of the Blu-Ray setup. I swear the resolution is better than the theater was. I know I spotted details I missed in the movie.

Oddly, a thirty inch screen looks best from about four feet away. Not sure how this translates into normal TV viewing. To watch from the couch, do I have to wait until I can afford a six-foot HD screen? And me between contracts, too. %$&*.

Good news is the longer you wait, the better it will work, and the cheaper it will get. I wish to hell every consumer product worked like this.

Thank God for the RICH American consumer. Without them, the manufacturers would never sell enough prototypical horribly expensive stuff to allow them to finally make the cheap stuff for the rest of us.
