This technology lark will be the end of me, I tell you . . .
Last year some time we bought ourselves a new flat screen HD telly - a Panasonic TX32LX70L and so far it hasn't let us down and we have had no issues with it.
From what I remember at the time, the whole HD-ready and HD thing seemed to revolve around whether the screen had 1920*1080 pixels or not. I could never understand how something that was never going to have 1920*1080 pixels could be described as HD-ready since it was never going to have that definition.
Now it's time to get another TV for one of the other rooms and as far as I'm concerned (from a future proofing point of view) there's no point in getting anything that doesn't do 1920*1080 since whenever we upgrade the DVD to bluray we won't be able to get the most of the bluray disks.
Am I missing something or is anything less than 1920*1080 a little like buying old technology if the aim is to watch high-def films or is there something I'm missing ? I would be happy to save the money and buy something 'lower' but not if I'm going to be shelling out for another new one in two ot three years.
