Since everyone else seems to think you're weird or offbase... Rowland Send a noteboard - 21/12/2010 11:35:42 PM
I'll second this and say that I generally feel the same. I watch both SD and HD with regularity (one TV supports it, one does not), I know they're hooked up properly, and I can tell the difference between the two, I simply don't care. It is definitely more noticeable in certain programming, i.e. sports, but I don't understand the big deal either. I don't know if this just make me a non-videophile or what, I just thought I'd chime in and say that you're not alone in your feeling.

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.

If the picture isn't filling the screen, then it's not HD - 21/12/2010 04:06:27 AM 834 Views
You're correct. A little bit of clarification, though. - 21/12/2010 06:26:57 PM 837 Views
Definitely true. I oversimplified a bit, sorry *NM* - 22/12/2010 01:24:51 AM 373 Views

To me, it sounds like the shows you are watching dont need HD. - 20/12/2010 11:08:33 PM 652 Views
I can see the wrinkles and nose hairs much more clearly. I am not necessarily keen on HD. TMI. *NM* - 21/12/2010 12:43:59 AM 356 Views
