I mean it's hard to find a panel that's got anything but 1024x768; the real expensive ones do 1280x720 but we're talking like ten frikkin' thousand dollars.<br><br>They also list that same weird 720p True thing for the LCD screens, which also would be pretty cool if true.  Very few LCD TV's are true 1280x720 16:9 screens.<br><br>Seems like a pretty good lineup at some decent prices.  (Still out of my range for the most part, though.)<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Toshiba announces 19 new flatpanel TVs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/20/toshiba-announces-19-new-flatpanel-tvs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/20/toshiba-announces-19-new-flatpanel-tvs/</guid><description><![CDATA[btw, yes I am posting on Engadget at 3:47 AM on a Friday night.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Toshiba announces 19 new flatpanel TVs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/20/toshiba-announces-19-new-flatpanel-tvs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/20/toshiba-announces-19-new-flatpanel-tvs/</guid><description><![CDATA[pff.  its 4:05 where i am .... i read engadget before going to bicycling to work at 4:15 every morning :x]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cullen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Toshiba announces 19 new flatpanel TVs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/20/toshiba-announces-19-new-flatpanel-tvs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/20/toshiba-announces-19-new-flatpanel-tvs/</guid><description><![CDATA[I picked up the 26HF85 26" 16:9 CRT for $500 a few weeks ago.

There can't be that many wealthy people in the country."<br><br>You don't need to be wealthy, really.  The only reason these are out of my range is because I'm saving up for a house.  I'm not wealthy; I'm lower middle class.<br><br>There's a huge income disparity between different parts of the country.  I used to live in the midwest, where if you made $30k/year you were considered borderline wealthy.<br><br>In NYC, and LA and SFO and other coastal cities, the cost of living is ridiculously higher, and the wages are too.  Making $30k here wouldn't even get you a studio apartment in the South Bronx.  Middle class *starts* at around $60k/year, and if you figure about 10% of that is going to go towards spending money, that's $6,000.<br><br>It's kind of unfair, really, but it's unfair whichever side you're on, in different ways.  I may make more than midwesterners do doing similar jobs, but they don't have to pay $5,000 a year in car insurance either.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:05AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
