HD rules all. Makes me wonder how in the world electronics makers will be able to improve on it. But they'll find a way, and it'll be interesting.
Smello-Vision. That will make the games at EIU interesting with all that Marlboro smoke, Aqua Velva and B.O.
well, at some point, you'll reach the limits of human vision. It was reached some time ago with colors. Your computer monitor is likely capable of displaying more colors than your eyes can perceive. It will be the same thing with resolution. Once you reach 20/20 visual acuity (which is a ways off still, at least for most consumer devices), resolution can't get any higher and still be perceptible to humans. I really do think we are about 2 decades away from reaching the limits of human perception in 2d video and sound. That, of course, leaves an advance in 3d open, but that might be a while coming.
Now the big thing is to get everything in HD, I hate watching Standard def content, I do not even own an SD tv anymore.
Hah, no, but it angers me when big events are not in HD, I don't get it. Most people watching these things would have at least 1 HD tv by now.
Yeah, and the worst part of it is that when you have a big screen, SD looks so much worse because all the imperfections in the picture are amplified.
I agree. It is similiar to the people who talk about the uniforms and colors, or "manscaping". This is not needed, just something to add to their metro lifestyle.:cute:
I have both, and while I obviously prefer to watch something in HD when available, the majority of the stuff I watch is still SD, and it doesn't bother me one bit.
Probably but not for long - doesn't all the signals go to HD in 2009? HD is not essential but it is hard to watch SD when you get used to HD.
I was not in to the craze either until my wife got a new TV upstairs and everybody would watch in the smallest area in the house. I followed by getting a big screen for the basement and now I can not watch TV on a smaller screen either. Football is the best, I hooked up all of the old TV's in the basement so we could watch up to 6 games at once. If you compare DTV with SD the picture is wider showing more of the field. NFL in DTV is a must.
No, not all signals go to HD. Only over-the-air signals. So anything you can pick up with rabbit ears will be HD, but cable and satellite channels can still be SD, and probably will be for some time. Ironically, the only way to get an SD local signal will be over cable or satellite after 2008.
No not necessarily, all signal goes to Digital in 2009, which is not HD. You can buy TV's that pick up DTV but are not HD, my daughter has a ETV (Enhanced TV) that are a lot cheaper.
