The slow march toward that new digital broadcast standard has brought us a small but rapidly swelling flow of new DTV widescreen televisions&mdash;far better sets than anything the average consumer has ever seen before. These TVs are still very much high-end products, but despite their cost, sales are increasing at a steady rate.

Sony's first Super Audio CD players were audio-only machines that did not play back DVD-Video discs. Fair enough&mdash;those machines were aimed at the top of the high-end audiophile market, and were priced accordingly. But with the DVP-S9000ES&mdash;the first DVD player to carry Sony's upscale "ES" badge&mdash;we have not only a first-class SACD player, but one priced within the reach of many home-theater enthusiasts.

Audio considerations seem to be the top priority of most home-theater enthusiasts. But once you reach a certain plateau of sound quality you begin to take a good look at your video display, and most of us end up wanting a separate projector and screen for that real movie experience. At <I>SGHT</I>, we've reviewed some of the most exotic video-display products on the planet. But when the daydreaming stops, we realize that these projectors are the video equivalents of Ferraris. As much fun as they are to write and (we hope) read about, only a few lucky readers will ever park them in their homes.
