RCA's Stance on Next-Gen Media: We Quit

[link]

Harpozep · Jan 7, 2007

I wish I was that strong!
I felt the same way until we got the LCOS Sony XBR2 60" set in the house. A week later it was off to Xbox 360 land just so we could get the HDDVD player for HD viewing........sigh. :laugh:

Even funnier, I think Blu Ray is the way to go.

I am not as strong on holding stances as I was when I was young.

Quit what? They never produced a player in 2006. The HDV5000 was a rebadged Toshiba.

Austan · Jan 7, 2007

Toshiba's only hope now is universal players...

Carlo_M · Jan 7, 2007

Well since I've never seen an RCA electronics appliance that I liked/wanted, I'm not going to lose much sleep over this.

Tim Glover · Jan 7, 2007

Wrong....Onkyo & Meridian are releasing HD-DVD players this year.

RCA had some great sets back in the 70's...

Peter Overduin · Jan 7, 2007

Didnt RCA make 78s? RCA and HT almost sound like a contradiction in terms. Almost like Ford saying it wont make anymore good cars.

RobertDW · Jan 8, 2007

Also LiteOn and one other major Chinese CE will be making HD DVD players.

As another poster pointed out, the RCA was nothing more than a rebadged Toshiba and (IIRC) the only retailers selling the players were Sears and Wal-mart. Perhaps they should been a little more clear and said that they are no longer MARKETING any HD-DVD players.

Deane Johnson · Jan 8, 2007

I wonder if anyone has passed this information along to Meridian and Onkyo since they have announced nothing. Maybe they don't know about it.

Nice link James.

Deane Johnson · Jan 8, 2007

I guess somebody must have told them.

Larry Sutliff · Jan 8, 2007

Meridian?

My wallet just had a stroke!

RCA made the "large hole" 45's!

Tony Kwong · Jan 8, 2007

Wow, Alpine Electronics! The return of the old ALPS-Motorolla!

Chris S · Jan 8, 2007

Honestly, who needs this in their car...? Those screens are so small!

Marko Berg · Jan 9, 2007

I guess soon we'll see cars where a semi-transparent HD image is projected onto the inside of a 1.78:1 windshield with the help of a mini-projector mounted on the overhead console.
