Thanks. Although given that we've lived without any HD for maybe 15 years,
the resolution clearly doesn't bother us. The funny thing is the main
motivation my wife gave is so she could read the football scores (I think
CBS is okay, but Fox is not great and NBC is horrible as far as score
readability goes). Granted, since we don't yet have HD capture cards, it
may not fix that problem entirely, but a larger screen should help
(currently have a ~32" Sony SD CRT).
