i am convinced that the only difference between hd and regular analoug
tv with a digital cable is brightness - every hd screen ive seen is
much brighter which lends itself to crisper colors, but in dark scenes
in a movie or tv show, they are exactly the same - the definition
doesnt matter.

i watched the lord of the rings trilogy on the hd tv in the living
room and when my arm was operated on, watched it in the wreck room -
my office - there really wasnt much difference.



WAIT a minute. It just hit me. You said you watched the Lord of the Rings
Trilogy on a HD set and (I assume) a regular set in your wreck room and
couldn't detect much of a difference.

Your source material was a DVD , correct? No wonder! DVD is not HD. It's
in a 480i or 480p format. You were not watching HD.
