HDTV ambiguity from Business Week
Oh Business Week, we're sure you meant well, but it's vague comments like these from Stephen H. Wildstrom that continue to confuse the analog public: "A 30-in. digital CRT with a digital tuner will probably set you back about $650, and that doesn't get you true high definition. HD costs around $1,000 for a 30-in. CRT and upwards of $1,500 for a 32-in. flat-panel."
Maybe it's just us, and if it is, we know you'll chime in and set us straight. How exactly does a 30-inch digital CRT with a digital tuner not get you true high definition? If by "true" high-def BW means 1080p, that's a little weak and definitely confusing to folks that are still getting used to terms like 720p and 1080i. We've pointed out numerous CRTs that are under the $650 price range BW mentions and yet, they still get you HDTV. Great intention BW, but ambiguous execution.
