Time for a new eye glasses exam *NM* Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 08:01:29 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.

If the picture isn't filling the screen, then it's not HD beetnemesis - 21/12/2010 04:06:27 AM 1090 Views
You're correct. A little bit of clarification, though. Aemon - 21/12/2010 06:26:57 PM 1071 Views
Definitely true. I oversimplified a bit, sorry *NM* beetnemesis - 22/12/2010 01:24:51 AM 502 Views
huh. I always notice the difference at once, and enjoy HD a lot. jh - 20/12/2010 06:58:22 PM 909 Views

Well damn... Dark Knight - 20/12/2010 09:33:58 PM 900 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 869 Views

To me, it sounds like the shows you are watching dont need HD. MightyYT - 20/12/2010 11:08:33 PM 912 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 459 Views

You can't see them on your regular TV? Tashmere - 23/12/2010 12:25:26 AM 828 Views
Actually I would. j-whitt987 - 23/12/2010 12:29:55 AM 941 Views
The deal is... you've gone crazy! BlackAdder - 21/12/2010 04:45:33 AM 1367 Views
The only Blu-Ray I've seen is those in the stores comparing that to DVD. j-whitt987 - 21/12/2010 04:48:04 AM 984 Views
No one seems to have asked you this yet. Aemon - 21/12/2010 05:56:55 PM 1166 Views

There's nothing wrong with not caring, only with not being able to tell. Aemon - 22/12/2010 02:31:24 PM 837 Views
I'm with you, dude. callandor1000 - 22/12/2010 07:12:24 AM 848 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 483 Views

Damn! j-whitt987 - 22/12/2010 03:16:39 PM 869 Views
If you really want to see the difference, watch HD only for 1 month then switch back! Like wine... djwilson300 - 23/12/2010 11:34:13 PM 852 Views

I've seen people with the exact same problem as you before MalkierKnight - 30/12/2010 12:25:00 AM 911 Views
So I'm an idiot for not believing in the all mighty power of the HDTV? j-whitt987 - 30/12/2010 12:31:44 AM 949 Views
No... MalkierKnight - 30/12/2010 02:05:18 PM 930 Views
