Hardware, Embedded Systems Geeks.com sent us in a next generation DVD player, the Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. The model is the little brother of the HD-XA2 with fewer features, but it's the only HD player that sells at $230 while using the newer, second generation HD-DVD technology.

> You say things like people won't notice the difference in the sound and don't have the equipment, but they will have the right display and will make a difference from 720p?

That's exactly what I am saying. I could say the difference VERY SLIGHTLY, and yet I have a 55" TV. If I had a 32", like most people have, I wouldn't have. And sound, is WAY more difficult to tell apart, especially because most people don't even have a theater surround system, and the ones who do usually bought it for $50 (I bought mine for $350).

> I'm even pretty sure no 32" display are full HD, they must be 720p display.

You are wrong, again. You can ask Thom, he has a full 1080i TV, and it's only 17". At 32", it's a piece of cake.

> If you were so technically inclined towards HD displays, you'd know that the RPTV SXRD are among the best displays

I said 55" for $2600 at 1080p, not 1080i. SXRDs are not that cheap. We looked them up, just a month ago in fact with my husband. They were about $3000 for a 46" I think. That size is not something I would want to replace my 55", even if the SXRD technology is better. Not for that kind of money anyway (I bought my TV at just $1750).

I suggest you are more careful how you reply here. Your tone is not acceptable. It feels polemic, and you think you know everything about me and what I know and what I don't.
