Your not an idiot. I've seen the same display at my BB/Magnolia and it could easily pass for standard def DVD. Same thing with HD DVD display, but that was marginally better. Certainly no WOW factor at all in either technology. No chance I'm parting with even $500 until I see something that makes me go WOW.
I'm not shy about spending on my theater - but I smell the next Laserdisc / Beta Max fiasco from a mile away. I think they are *both* going to be MIA at Best Buy / CC in just a few months. No chance they will waste the floor space on this.
Nobody was watching *either* display and BB was packed!
In contrast, all the LCD/Plasma/DLP displays showing the typical HD loops looked fantastic and were generating serious traffic.
