Tuning up for HDTV

CNET runs a story on the promise and pitfalls of high-definition future.

"If things are picking up for HDTV makers and programmers, consumers are still only on the cusp of accessing next-generation television. The leading-edge nature of the emerging technology means that TV viewers and buyers are susceptible to a misunderstanding of what's capable with products.

"There's still a lot of consumer confusion out there," Abraham said, citing the different types of digital television available, from standard-definition to high-definition DTV, as well as the question of whether people need digital tuners. "And there's still the foremost concern: price. HDTVs are still about twice as expensive as similarly sized analog sets."
