Book Reviews of HDTV For Dummies
Book Review: First, buy the book, THEN buy the TV!
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I read this book, I was intimidated by the TV salespeople! By the time I finished the first three chapters, I was able to decipher most of the jargon, and realized that they really did not know a whole lot more than I did. I taught myself many things by reading (cooking, household repairs, wiring, even computers), but I really had my doubts about the HDTV thing. Well, it turns out that things are changing as fast in the TV world as they are in the computer world, and parts of this book are outdated, but that's OK because the author anticipates many of the changing standards and explains many of the improvements that have arrived since the book was written. This is a real buy, because there really isn't anything as comprehensive for the beginner out there now, and the book's price is very reasonable. A tip: buy a "new" copy that hasn't been written in, because you will want to make your own notes in the margins! Read and Learn!
