So, did I just narrowly avoid a disaster or did I actually do something stupid?
It hasn't been delivered yet, so I'm waiting for the moment of truth.
No video games, just lots of NTSC DVD and Blu-Ray. And I hate watching 4:3 stretched, so I'm worried I may have just traded fear of blurred moving images for fear of vertical bar burn-in.

Now if only my third-rate evil cable provider (Look Communications) offered HD programming, I'd be all set.
