I'm not sure the HD-DVD format would be successful if everybody had to buy a new television. I believe any new HD-DVD players will offer component, and perhaps even SVideo output.

You MIGHT still have to buy a new TV to get real HD video from a new format, but I suspect it's a few years away.

But I could be wrong. I'm going to move this post over to the "Display Devices" where the people who study this stuff hang out.
