If you have to ask.... scalius Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 09:36:01 PM
...then you're doing it wrong

Seriously, the difference is so astounding that I'm nearly rendered speechless when people say this. And you're not the first, nor the 3rd I've heard this from.

It's weird, because every time a friend mentions this, I ask him/her over to my house and show them the difference, and the issue is never raised again.

Either your vision has become impaired (not likely), OR

You've got a technical issue (very likely) OR

You're simply being contrarian (somewhat likely)





I would slave, to pave the way, to sink your ship of fools.

If the picture isn't filling the screen, then it's not HD beetnemesis - 21/12/2010 04:06:27 AM 929 Views
You're correct. A little bit of clarification, though. Aemon - 21/12/2010 06:26:57 PM 923 Views
Definitely true. I oversimplified a bit, sorry *NM* beetnemesis - 22/12/2010 01:24:51 AM 417 Views
huh. I always notice the difference at once, and enjoy HD a lot. jh - 20/12/2010 06:58:22 PM 746 Views

To me, it sounds like the shows you are watching dont need HD. MightyYT - 20/12/2010 11:08:33 PM 745 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 395 Views

There's nothing wrong with not caring, only with not being able to tell. Aemon - 22/12/2010 02:31:24 PM 709 Views
I'm with you, dude. callandor1000 - 22/12/2010 07:12:24 AM 692 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 413 Views
