Oh sure, analog is a dead-format-walking. But the article's basis is mainly on visual acuity. HD-marketers tend to forget that you can't see the difference between HD formats if you can't see the difference between HD formats, and always push their strategy with the assumption that every potential buyer has 20/20 vision or better. My visual acuity's not perfect (probably 20/30) , and glasses in a dark movie theater for me means the difference between 'The HD effect' and 'The standard okay-but-not-crisp'. I'm holding off on getting any HDtv 'till I'm sure that the difference between 720p and 1080p isn't just numbers for me, save for the price.
Buyers need to be aware that just because they buy the biggest tv with the highest resolution and bells and whistles, there's no guarantee that they'll get to experience what they pay for.
