Glad to hear it. j-whitt987 Send a noteboard - 21/12/2010 11:41:35 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 like to think of myself as a mild videophile, but the only difference I care about is how my "acquired" videos look on my computer. .AVI files aren't anywhere close to HD, but they satisfy my need plenty.

If the picture isn't filling the screen, then it's not HD beetnemesis - 21/12/2010 04:06:27 AM 924 Views
You're correct. A little bit of clarification, though. Aemon - 21/12/2010 06:26:57 PM 916 Views
Definitely true. I oversimplified a bit, sorry *NM* beetnemesis - 22/12/2010 01:24:51 AM 414 Views
huh. I always notice the difference at once, and enjoy HD a lot. jh - 20/12/2010 06:58:22 PM 739 Views

To me, it sounds like the shows you are watching dont need HD. MightyYT - 20/12/2010 11:08:33 PM 740 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 392 Views

There's nothing wrong with not caring, only with not being able to tell. Aemon - 22/12/2010 02:31:24 PM 704 Views
I'm with you, dude. callandor1000 - 22/12/2010 07:12:24 AM 688 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 410 Views
