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 beetnemesis - 21/12/2010 04:06:27 AM 1000 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 457 Views
huh. I always notice the difference at once, and enjoy HD a lot. jh - 20/12/2010 06:58:22 PM 838 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 792 Views

To me, it sounds like the shows you are watching dont need HD. MightyYT - 20/12/2010 11:08:33 PM 831 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

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 922 Views

There's nothing wrong with not caring, only with not being able to tell. Aemon - 22/12/2010 02:31:24 PM 754 Views
I'm with you, dude. callandor1000 - 22/12/2010 07:12:24 AM 761 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 443 Views
