Do you still use "dinosaur" technology like 56k and SDTV?

I dont think I could ever go back. I have to have a fast internet connection and love my gorgeous HDTV. Plenty of others do not care of what they have.

Do you use SDTV and 56k modems?

I still have an SDTV.

I have an SDTV, because 1) I'm in college and thus poor, and 2) HDTVs are extremly expensive.

surround sound and that crap is where I think people are really fooling themselves.

IMO. I'm with my SD TV too, but I'll probably upgrade it this fall. Hopefully this 3d crap brings them down more.

then again, if it somehow catches on, I'll be found out of the loop once more....lol.

Used to have 27" SD, not 32" HD@1080p with good response time(about 30ms). Not really a big difference IMO.

EDIT: meant input lag LOL.

Fooling themselves?

College student here, who is living with an HDTV and is running a fast connection.

I have an SDTV, but I hardly watch any TV and I don't use it for gaming, so it doesn't matter to me.

I drive a BMW 320 coupe, i cant even imagine how people dri.......

...wait! This is the thread where we brag about our possessions right?

I've been HD and Online since Dreamcast! :o

Glad people are catching up, it's been a decade, I used to be the minority around here. :cry:

I remember being excited when the PS2 released and there were official component cables released for the PS2!

That was a console first people forget about. Great memories.

I do have dinosaur technology though, as I have a TV in my bathroom, and it's SD. It's little though. I can't miss my shows!

I'd upgrade to HDTV if I bought a decent TV. Most the people I know just pick up some $700 LCD and call that quality.

I can understand people still having SDTVs, but 56K??

Fooling themselves?

IMO? as in I don't feel it enhances anything to a notable level.

the same would go for uncompressed audio(CD)vs. an mp3. I can't find the difference. and it's not worth paying a price for much of those things.

I'm in college and all I have to say is, "where the hell am I going to find $299?"

Versus television speakers?

I still haven't upgraded to an HDTV yet.

Nope. In my new apartment my SDTV will be strictly for watching tv in the bedroom, however my HDTV and 5.1 set get the living room with HD satellite.

Yeah, I have a SDTV. I don't really see much point in upgrading, I could use the money for much better things.comeonthehoops

I have an SDTV in my room but an HDTV in my living where I play my games.

SDTV all the way!

I have an SDTV, but I don't really feel the need to have an HD one. Even though it can be a little frustrating to read some text on PS3 games. I used to use a 27" SDTV, but it broke and now I'm using a really old 8" one. It doesn't even have normal RF or A/V inputs, it has something older called Twin-lead. I'll buy a new TV soon though(probably SD).

No, I have an HDTV and operational internet.:P

I have a few HDTV's that I use for gaming.

I have a satellite connection. Bandwidth is high, though the ping is worse than Dial-up and it bugs out a lot.

I had an HDTV, but it bugged out. So for now I'm using an ancient SDTV. It's not that bad really, except that text in 360 and PS3 games is often impossible to read.

I still use an SDTV, reading small text wasn't that much of a problem until I got Star Ocean 4. It's literally impossible to read some of the small text in that game no matter how hard you try.

I just upgraded to HDTV and have a pretty good modem/connection. Still need to get a surround sound system(waiting to see how soon 7.1 gets mass used before making a decision)

I don't recall ever even seeing a movie that supports 7.1.
