| 378133 | 2005-08-04 03:59:00 | Did you read the thread on HD monitors and TV's from a couple weeks back,we went over a fair bit of it. The new screens are only required for viewing HD media........Which (imo) will not be available in NZ untill HD TV's are common place (they are currently available for a price) and this wont happen untill we have a HD broadcast,which I cant see happening anytime in the next decade.... |

| 378136 | 2005-08-04 05:15:00 | why will we need a new monitor? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 378137 | 2005-08-04 05:25:00 | well I would have to think what ever is high end now would be your entry point for VISTA, as far as hardware is concerned | plod (107) | ||
| 378138 | 2005-08-04 06:07:00 | We need a new monitor????? Why on earth? whats the matter with 800 X 600 17inch cathode monitors? Oh! where is the thread? |

| 378139 | 2005-08-04 06:47:00 | Actually, on second thoughts Met's, I want HD-DVD now and digital TV too along with a 50MB/s intrawaweb [sic] connection. It's just not bdy good enough :rolleyes: Presscott, heres a link (www.smh.com.au) On third thought, if all the overseas content, HD-DVD and possibly Blue Ray are going that way, what the heck sort of choice are we going to have? Can you bet that the content providers will be lapping the technology up? Should I find that other thread? |

| 378140 | 2005-08-04 07:37:00 | why will we need a new monitor? No the real question is why do we want Vista? |

| 378141 | 2005-08-04 07:41:00 | No the real question is why do we want Vista? It's not a matter of wanting it, you will need to have, MS will start phasing out support for XP, I don't how long that will take, but at a guess it will be sooner then the 98-xp transition phase out... |
