HD. What's the deal? j-whitt987 Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 06:27:40 PM
I've watched some TV shows in HD a few times, but I can't see any major differences that make me say, "Holy shit! That's so much better than standard definition!" The only differences that I've seen are the picture is brighter and the volume is lower. What's the big deal?

Yes, I do have the HD channels, and, yes, I'm sure I was on the HD channel. I'm sure that my TV is an HDTV also. It's an LG 37LD450- 37 inch High Definition 1080p LCD TV.

Spock: I find that remark…insulting.

If the picture isn't filling the screen, then it's not HD beetnemesis - 21/12/2010 04:06:27 AM 1393 Views
You're correct. A little bit of clarification, though. Aemon - 21/12/2010 06:26:57 PM 1335 Views
Definitely true. I oversimplified a bit, sorry *NM* beetnemesis - 22/12/2010 01:24:51 AM 644 Views
huh. I always notice the difference at once, and enjoy HD a lot. jh - 20/12/2010 06:58:22 PM 1196 Views

I'm glad you like it better, but everything I've read says that's incorrect. Aemon - 21/12/2010 07:06:26 PM 1168 Views

To me, it sounds like the shows you are watching dont need HD. MightyYT - 20/12/2010 11:08:33 PM 1189 Views
I can see the wrinkles and nose hairs much more clearly. I am not necessarily keen on HD. TMI. *NM* Tashmere - 21/12/2010 12:43:59 AM 597 Views

There's nothing wrong with not caring, only with not being able to tell. Aemon - 22/12/2010 02:31:24 PM 1110 Views
I'm with you, dude. callandor1000 - 22/12/2010 07:12:24 AM 1115 Views
Blu-ray looks fantastic on the right set, but I wouldn't go crazy over subscription media. *NM* Zalis - 22/12/2010 02:20:16 PM 634 Views
