I was mainly focusing on the technical specifications to be honest. There were some doomers out there that thought we would never get anything better than the high resolution CRTs, that we would never get anything better than vinyl, that cameras had peaked with the high quality film models, etc. That digital meant a permanent insurmountable reduction in quality. I'm just glad that wasn't the case. Though on the screen front we had to wait for OLED, and some of the early LCD and TN panels were shockingly bad when compared to contemporary CRTs, and the only way to get good picture quality was to spend your life savings on a plasma TV. Glad that's over.
