After years and years of browsing, we just broke down and got a big ass TV. The thing is enormous. We've gone from a second-hand 20" TV on the verge of exploding to 50" of High Def glory. We love it. Movies look nice and big. We watch stuff that we don't even like just because it's in HD.

This begs the question - is my new TV evil? I find myself daydreaming about watching my big ass TV now. Whenever I'm home now, the big ass TV must be on, so I can bask in its glory even if I'm not watching it. My cat (who won't go near the thing) is begging for attention even more now that I'm content to stare glassy eyed at the Discover HD channel. I even have "TV Party" by Black Flag in my head now.

Anybody know if those HD-upconverting DVD players are worth it? Our current player is so old it doesn't even have progressive scan.

Jeez Louise, no wonder you bitches don't pick up your phones or invite a sister out to brunch in that scary place called Brooklyn.

All my best,

I can't tell you the difference between progressive and non-progressive DVD players because we replaced our DVD player before we bought or HDTV.

I can tell you that progressive DVD players are relatively cheap, just get one with either DMI or HDMI depending on your TV's hookups... and shell out for a decent cable.
