Thats kinda what I was figuring...I mean, we have a high quality tv and run component video cables....and I would think it'd be pretty hard to beat the clarity of that by a good amount.

They had something like HD-DVD called Super VHS back in the late 80's early 90's. The picture was supposidly almost as good as a laserdisc player. You needed a VCR that could play Super VHS to play these special VHS tapes and get the benefits. I think a 6 head player was also recommended. The problem was when SVHS first came out the players were expensive and rare. The tapes were even more rare and pretty expensive. I never saw an SVHS tape at a store but there were a handful you could order out of video magazines for around $30-$40. My dad got a military presentation video for helicopters that was in SVHS and we watched it, the picture quality was nicer then a regular VHS but not worth the extra money and rarity of the product. It never caught on and soon dissapeared because the quality was not that superior over a regular VHS and it was so rare. This HD-DVD may catch on a little more but I don't think it will be very popular unless they lower the prices and have a much bigger selection. We have a DVD-A player but the only problem is the lack of selection, I have only seen a few titles at best buy.
