Fact or Fiction: HDTV

At some point in the near future, all TV will be broadcast in high definition. CNet.com recommends that if you can't afford an HDTV right now, just use your current set for now until you've saved enough to buy an HDTV.

Yes, the smallest plasma isn't so small -- 42 inches.

LCDs range from 13 inches to 65 inches, so there's a greater range of them than plasmas, which start at 42 inches. Thus, they are more popular.

HDMI cables handle both high-def video and high-resolution audio, so they're the best (and easiest) connection.

It's actually recommended that you do adjust the settings. You can play around with preset categories or figure out what settings look best to you.

Nope, but we wouldn't be surprised if someone was working on it.

Yep, the Sharp LB-1085 is the biggest HDTV out there.
