Okay so I’m an admitted tightwad. I have a pay as you go cell that I keep charged but never on me because no one needs to get ahold of me that bad. All of the latest technology doesn’t really impress me much so I don’t understand lines where people get the first generation of new uber phone, TV, etc only to have the price lowered within 6-12 months by potentially hundreds of dollars. I’ve never been overly impressed with the idea of HDTV and I knew eventually I’d break down and give in to the DH’s whimpering for one. So we buy a 37″ LG 1080p HDTV and I’ll admit, it’s beautiful. We knew after seeing the crappy analog feed from the cable company we’d have to break down and upgrade to the HD channels to take full advantage.
One that we kind of laughed at was Food Network HD. We thought “really? Why would you need to see Food Network in HD??” Now I know. OMG. I just watched Everyday Italian and am now watching Barefoot Contessa and I must say if I knew it wouldn’t leave a mark on the TV, I’d have licked the screen. It feels like you can reach in and grab a brownie. I may even try to. But if you’re debating getting an HD TV, do your research, get nothing less than 1080p and make sure you get Food Network HD if you’re a foodie…you’ll be staring at food porn all day.
