1) What kind of TV do you have? (brand, size, picture technology, etc)


Panasonic Viera plasma, 42". Lower end-ish model.

2) What side of the Plasma vs LCD argument do you fall on?


Plasma if there's no computer involved. Colors and refresh rate are better, from what I understand, and risk of burn in these days is almost non-existent. LCD is probably the better bet if you're using the screen as a computer monitor though. Typically better connectivity options, and much higher resolutions.

3) Do you plan a TV upgrade anytime soon?


No.

4) Have you upgraded to Blu-Ray yet?


No sir. I like HD content, but I'm just not a big movie buff at all. I'm perfectly happy with DVD quality for the few films I watch.

5) How big is your DVD/Blu-Ray library?


/smirk. Three movies: all LOTR extended editions. Everything else I download, and play via computer/360.

6) Aren't Blu-Ray disks ridiculously overpriced still?? I mean $30+ for a new movie when you can get the DVD for like 1/2 that?? What's up with that?


Sure seems like it to me, yeah. I wonder why? The filming equipment is a big investment, true, but it's a one time cost, I would think. I can't see justifying the blu-ray cost there. Similarly, blu-ray burners and disks aren't that expensive either. I suppose it's still just a "newest and best" premium.

7) Am I alone in thinking a lot of movies aren't worth the additional premium it costs to get the modest upgrade in picture?


Not at all.

I guess that's it...not much, but at least it's something to talk about.
