I'm telling you, you should really check out the HD1000 by
Mitsubishi, it kicks major ass for the money. Just read some
customer reviews anywhere, they're all the same. It's jaw
dropping, I mean it. I couldn't hardly get the satellite guys to
leave, I had to just turn it off. ;-)


For video perhaps.

What does that mean? It seems that most x-boxers are in love with
it too, although I don't really use it as a computer monitor (unless
you count MythTV).


That's what I mean. That's video content. Have you used it for
your PC display? That's where FPDs rule!

It looks fine as a PC display. The MythTV machine is running an FX5200 as
the video card on DVI out using a DVI/HDMI convertor. Nothing stunning I
know, but they accelerate video playback as well as a more expensive card.
Don't need a high end card for home theater machine. Good openGL support is
nice for the animations during music playback.

Not on my list yet, however. I have been eyeing
a 1TB drive though...

I bet that's gonna be expensive. $$/GB ratio is too high for my
tastes.

Only $400. It was featured in this month's PM (Popular Mechanics)

Ouch, and only a 3 year warranty. Get 2 of the WD's and save $100, plus get
a 5 year warranty.

I just bought one of these to replace a failing 320. 5 year
warranty I keep my movies on drives that sleep, and the main Linux
install on a smaller drive.

There was a major case win against DVD CSS this week mentioned in EE
Times. All about storing DVDs on a drive array.

Bout time.
