    Does this actually mean like a stop in production, or just you're opinion that they are better?

    They will stop HD all together, they will close the production lines.

    Frankly who cares. Studies have show in double blind tests 9/10 people can't tell the difference between upscaled content and true HD content on the average HD television, there were like 4 brands tested if I remember right.

    This format war was a fat joke to begin with. But at least the better of the two technologies won. The only down side is we are likely to see prices come up before they come down.
