Also, I never knew everyone had an HDTV or monitor at there home. A lot of people still don't have cable. Where have I been?

I would be willing to bet that at least 80% of the people that view this web site have an HD monitor on their computer. I'm sure yours is too. Just look at the resolution of your computer display and I'm sure it's at least 1280 x 720.
I know I'm going to get flamed for linking Wikipedia, but I really don't feel like putting too much time into this right now.
This is a bit of a stretch, but In 1990 XGA was introduced, while this isn't a typical wide screen HD monitor we're use to looking at today, it's still capable of displaying HD resolutions. Maybe not your typical 720p HD resolution, but still HD.

More realistically, as newone757 pointed out, most computer monitors could display an image of at least 1280 x 800 several years ago.
SVGA was introduced in 1998 supporting a resolution of 1280 x 1024. That's definitely capable of 720p HD content. Letterboxed HD content, but still HD.
And it has nothing to do with the current phone that I have. I'm just pointing out some facts. I would love to own an EVO, but I'm not switching carriers just for a phone when I know that a better version will be out in a few months.

Thank you. You actually get what I was trying to point out.
Pretty much anyone with a PC that's capable of running Windows XP or newer can most likely view HD content.
