Hello Nightfox!

 Og>> 32" was a respectable size over 14 years ago. ;) I think I
 Og>> paid a bit over $400 for mine. That was a fair chunk of
 Og>> change.

 N> "was a respectable size"..  :)

I spoke of it in past-tense because I purchased it in the past.  
THEN it was a CURRENT cost-effective popular size.  Anyway.. I  
only purchased it because my existing 30" console TV gave up  
the ghost. Its 30"x30" screen seemed more satisfying than the  
new widescreen 32".  At that time, I may have preferred a 42"  
to make up for the shorter vertical height on the 32", but the  
42" was at least $200 more or something like that.


 N> It seems like people keep wanting things that are bigger
 N> and bigger..

That could be misleading. Maybe people simply buy what is  
available or in stock at the time.  Retailers determine what  
they will carry on the floor.

Anyway.. back to BluRay.. I don't see it as a failed tech. BR  
discs can usually have more feature-content added and longer  
playing times than a standard DVD. BR is far from dead. And.. I  
thought DL-DVD (8GB) was amazing wrt to storage.
