watching hbo in high def is a big difference when comparing a live event in high def. Something on HBO couldve been taped 12 years ago with a shit camera. It's gonna look like shit, regardless if its in high def or not.
I remember when I worked at Timewarner..and some old fckn idiots were complaining about watching Law and Order on TNTHD. Some of those shows were recorded in 1990. I dont know what kind of picture they were expecting......old people are dumb and stupid, and can never be trusted. Watch a football game in high def..and regular standard video, big huge..motherfing difference. Try Hi-def using an HDMI connection....wow..even better. When an HD game switches to a commercial, to a NON-HD commercial, you can immediately notice the difference. 3X more the bandwidth to get an HD picture, = better picture. Which is why not everything is in HD. it's special.... Get your vision corrected people. People who arent blind like the Chargers. Go Chargers.

Your test should have been, instead of comparing the 27" to the 50", is switch from HBO HD on 509 to regular HBO on 501 on the 50". You would have definitely seen a difference. |

Believe me, if you have High Def working you will now. Here's a really easy way to see the difference: Change your computer's display size to 640x480 and look at your desktop. Then change your display size to 1600x1200. See the difference? The difference between High Def and Standard TV is just as drastic. |

The lack of perception you display here is very reassuring when I reflect back on all the times I've asked myself "is it just me or is Vlad just plain insane."

There's no difference between a TRUE HD broadcast and a movie upconverted on an HD channel? That's ridiculous.
Level of detail alone via higher screen resolution and more pixels/lines per inch simply blows away any analog TV. It's ludicrous to argue. Im guessing if you dont see a difference, then back in the day, you also had a VCR that blinked '12:00' and you couldnt figure out why.

This is ridiculous. I constantly turn from hi-def to non-hi de channels to see the difference and to show others the dif all the time - it's night and day.

A standard rear projection television uses CRT's, where usually three or more are projected(red, green, blue). I assume you bought a LCD projection TV that uses a single LCD projector. Thus alowing my statement that the LCD picture is inferior to CRT picture. Last edited by C-Mac; 12-21-2005 at 08:02 AM.. |

For YOU and your preferences, CRT may be the best picture. For me or someone else, we may prefer an LCD, DLP, or plasma picture. It's preference - there's no guarantee that what's "better" to you is "better" to me. I strongly disagree with your statement that LCD is the worst of all the tv technologies. Personally, I feel it is the best for my lifestyle and what I want to use it for, and it had the best picture to my eyes. CRTs have lots of convergence issues, burn-in problems, and typically have very reflective screen covers/protectors. Plasma is very high cost and has burn-in and longevity problems. DLP sets can display rainbows (which I see, btw, even with higher speed color wheels), and don't have the lumen outputs of other formats. LCDs can lose pixels and display SDE. They all have their ups and downs. I spent around a month demoing TVs of all types, using my own pre-selected source material. I had salesmen jumping through hoops to ensure that every set I watched used the exact same source equipment, playing my source material. I spent many hours looking at sets side-by-side. For me, the Sony Grand Wega LCD RPTV came out on top decisively. No other picture compared, IMO. My wife came to the same conclusion. Does that make LCD the best techlology? No, it makes it the best technology for me. Sounds like CRT is for you. I know many DLP fans. For the record, you will find roughly equal numbers of people on both sides of the LCD/DLP debate. CRT and plasma are becoming niche markets (for new big-screen HDTV purchases). |

But lets say for example you take a live video feed of a full color spectrum object and feed it into a CRT TV and a LCD TV next to each other, with the full color spectrum object actually in between so as to be seen also. The CRT will reproduce a picture more accurately matching the object then current LCD technology will. Its just like comparing speakers. If you can hear the live instrument, then hear it reproduced back thru different speakers, you can determine which speakers are most accurate. Otherwise it just all boils down to what your own ears and eyes like, personal preference. |
