Does anyone have a HD television and is it worth the money?

I recently purchased a 40" Sony HD plasma and thats the thing; it is only as good as your connections.

I got "Foxtel digital" which I assume is something similar to your 'satellite providers'. Unless there connections to the TV are high quality the picture quality will suffer, Foxtel had cheap cables and that so I had to fork out some more money for decent ones and also if they are not running a HD quality transmission the picture will suffer.

My brother and I got the same TV at the same time, he was running the old version of Foxtel and his quality wasn't the best even with top shelf cables. I suggest you call your satellite provider to see whether they cater for HD TVs.

Lastly is worth it? Depends on how much TV you watch to pay the price.

Yes to both questions. I don't even have HD cable... But my HD TV makes the games on my XBox 360 look positively amazing. 😀
 
I have an HD ready tv. but i only get about 10 channels that are hi def. i cant wait until every channel is in hi def. big difference.
 
I think i'll wait till they come down in price, why pay for something that within a couple of years comes shooting down in price, e.g. DVD players.
 
I have a couple of HD LED TVs and we love them, great for playing DVD, using Tivo and PS2 games. I want to purchase one each room of the house. :bouncybou
 
Flocky,
I just purchased a 32" HDTV and got comcast cable. My old television that I had, Penelope, passed away.

The picture is fantastic. Mine was $999 and is made by Polaroid. I love it.
