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.

That's exactly what I am saying. I could say the difference VERY SLIGHTLY, and yet I have a 55" TV
OMG!
Of course you can't make the difference, I bet your source is from broadcast. That's exactly what I said elsewhere. You can't make the difference, but that's not at all because of what you think. The bandwidth allocated to the signal and the compressed interlaced signal is the reason you won't see any difference.
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)
Nonsense! The difference is the same as between a compressed 128 bps MP3 and a CD. Even with crappy material, you will hear the difference. It won't be obvious immediately depending on the material, exactly like a HD display with HD versus SD content.
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
Wrong again. If it's a 1080i TV like you say, that is, again, marketing material. 1080i means it's a CRT, and no CRT can display all the 1080 lines. They are compatible, but can't display them all, except very expensive labo ones used by broadcasters to verify their source, and they're bigger than 17".
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
When I said you were wrong, I couldn't imagine just how much. That's why I specifically told you about SXRD RPTV, which are NOT the same as the LCD ones.
These don't come in 46" size, these are 50", 55" (in Europe), 60", and I think 70". And I'm sure the 50" model is below $2000, and the 60" model must be below $2600.
you think you know everything about me and what I know and what I don't
On the matter of HD hardware, that's just because it shows. I sure enough don't know everything about you, but when you say you are all technically inclined in your family, so what you say must be absolute truth, that's just deceiving. But you're welcome to prove me wrong on all the things I responded to, about region-unlocked DVD hard to come by in the USA, about all HDTV being more expensive than $2600 at sizes above 50", about all digital HDTV not being progressive, about 1080i/p HDTV not useful below some size (40" usually), ...
