I've seen people with the exact same problem as you before MalkierKnight Send a noteboard - 30/12/2010 12:25:00 AM
It typically happens when you're an idiot and/or don't care about the picture all that much to begin with. Beetnemesis tried to explain the level of detail that hd provides especially in a football game. The clarity of the grass, the decals, etc.

However, you slapped his comment aside claiming that it was good enough before.

If you want to make the argument that hdtv isn't worth the price for what you get then fine. But don't make a bonehead argument and waste everyone's time by saying that hdtv isn't significantly better than standard definition. It's just stupid. Especially when you get a bigger screen.

Open your eyes. If you have a 1080p tv and it's set up properly and on the hdtv channel, during an hd telecast, then it will be way clearer than standard def.

Stop being an ass. Really.
You must unlearn what you have learned.

If the picture isn't filling the screen, then it's not HD beetnemesis - 21/12/2010 04:06:27 AM 1284 Views
You're correct. A little bit of clarification, though. Aemon - 21/12/2010 06:26:57 PM 1220 Views
Definitely true. I oversimplified a bit, sorry *NM* beetnemesis - 22/12/2010 01:24:51 AM 576 Views

To me, it sounds like the shows you are watching dont need HD. MightyYT - 20/12/2010 11:08:33 PM 1082 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 537 Views

I'm with you, dude. callandor1000 - 22/12/2010 07:12:24 AM 1004 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 570 Views
