I just don't see the gov't going ahead and saying "okay, now everything is digital - all you old ladies, poor people, and people in the hills can throw your TV sets away now".  It would be political suicide... and the first candidate who says "subsidized digital tuner boxes" is going to get a 100% election win.  Those tuner boxes will be inexpensive and easy to get/setup - they'll have to be.  You simply can't separate people from their TVs and expect there to be less than chaos.

this is happening in the uk at the moment, i think the over 60's get free boxes from the bbc, in two years i think it is, the uk will switch over to digital completely, digiboxes are as cheap as £20 though so its no big deal, its only radios that will have to be replaced, tvs you just get the digibox receiver

regarding plasma screens, they're used a lot in presentations/conferences, and moved about lots, i think that the fact no one is switching to lcd in that industry proves the plasma screens ability to perform well and last.

 Or maybe they just got really good deals on them that they couldnt refuse?


 One thing to note about Plasmas,  is that they are able to get screen burn-in.
This is especially bad for the PC displayer or Gamer..  or heck, even for cable tv - as they have
those stupid channel markers that always stay in one spot.


 LCD does not get screen burn.

svga, as well as DVI.   The picture sucked.  Poor details, and bad colors.
Then I got the DVI to HDMI cable hooked up, and the picture was simply
jaw dropping.    I also had to get a newer video card to drive the higher
resolution of  1920*1080.    Using other resolutions is not a good Idea with
LCD's..  as the scaling usually is very poor.   Always use the native res.

If the picture sucked with dvi then there is something wrong with your monitor.  DVI should be just as good as HDMI.
