An interesting trend indeed. It's about time the industry got serious about pushing HD. The trend has swung HD's way increasingly over the past few years, but the consumers are still in the grey area when it comes to fully committing to the standard. The trend of buying HD sets and not having HD content for them is more prevolent today than ever. HD support will increase the market's demand for it, hence giving more work to the people who provide it. NAB will reveal new trends and show us all where the industry will be focusing it's attention. Let's hope the quality of the products that are released are as inventive as they have been in recent years.

AVCHD will be making a strong push this year. The format totes higher quality with higher compression via the MPEG-4 standard
