: : : If I buy a TV today, it has to be upgradable. I want it to last for more than a couple
years.

So you're trying to say that HDTV will be the new standard and available in every market
in two years?

I would believe more like five or more. There are A LOT of people out there that
1. Can't afford or
2. Don't want the hassle of buying a new tv to replace their perfectly good one.

The longer it takes for the public to catch on, the longer it will be till HDTV is here in
force.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have HDTV now but... I think it will take a bit longer
than two years.

I believe that by the time HDTV has taken over, I will have received more than my
moneys worth from my XBR200. Then I can buy a brand new RPTV.
By then there will be standards and the picture technology will be vastly improved and
much cheaper than today.

I guess that's not the most cost-effective way of doing things but at least I'll always have
the best.
