To me, it sounds like the shows you are watching dont need HD. MightyYT Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 11:08:33 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.

That is to say that it doesn't matter if you are watching Standard or High, the shows will look the same. Try different shows....especially CGI heavy shows, they seem to show the HD the best.

Beckett: Me too.

If the picture isn't filling the screen, then it's not HD beetnemesis - 21/12/2010 04:06:27 AM 998 Views
You're correct. A little bit of clarification, though. Aemon - 21/12/2010 06:26:57 PM 997 Views
Definitely true. I oversimplified a bit, sorry *NM* beetnemesis - 22/12/2010 01:24:51 AM 456 Views
huh. I always notice the difference at once, and enjoy HD a lot. jh - 20/12/2010 06:58:22 PM 835 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 790 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 423 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 442 Views
