wow. just wow.

i realise i've been a bit slow on this - although it has a lot to do with the uk being a bit rubbish when it comes to this kind of stuff - but i finally witnessed hd television on sunday. with an hour to go before all the food shops in the area closed, and no food in the house, t'wife and i decided it would be best to spend the next two hours in an electrical superstore looking at lcd televisions, and off to currys in isleworth we sped.

we've been talking about getting a hd-ready lcd for a couple of weeks, but i had absolutely no idea that this place had set up an hd source for their tvs. my god. 3 lg plasmas and 3 lg lcds, of 37" and above, all hooked up to an hd source showing what looked like a "visit europe" tourist information video. my jaw dropped and i have a faint recollection of dribbling at various points throughout the following hour or so.

all the reports i've read - which is quite a few - are true. it really is a revolution in tv. the picture quality, the colours, the detail, everything, is just mind blowing. t'wife was just as amazed, and give me that "sod it, let's just buy one on credit" look on more than a dozen occasions. i know what you're thinking, and the answer is no. no, we didn't get one. but it won't be long.

oh no, it won't be long.

incidentally, we ordered pizza.
