Pet Peeve - it takes so long to turn on.

It is nice to have all these HD TV and modern DVD player. The picture quality is great but one thing I really hate is it takes forever to get the machine playing after I turn it on. For example, my HDTV takes 18 seconds before I actually see a picture after I turned it on. It takes the TV 12 seconds to show picture after I switch it to the HDMI channel from a video channel.

As for my DVD player, it takes 17 seconds for the player to be ready after I switch the ON button. Once I load the DVD, it takes another 23 seconds after loading before the DVD actually plays.

I sure sometimes miss my old picture tube TV and VCR player. It turns on within 2-3 seconds after I press the ON button.
