One of the things these flat panels often do is brutally reveal the weaknesses in sources and perhaps there is hope therefore that owners will start to seek out better quality sources for their shiny new flat panels.

But unfortunately it's difficult for the average consumer to get good advice - most shop assistants are woeful in this regard and give poor, and very often wrong, advice. But even consumer magazines like Which, rather than informing consumers, are warning people not to buy HD because of the war - this is the flawed "sit on the fence until there is a winner argument" because if people don't buy there will be no winners.
