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.
ok - good point.
*Some* DVD players "upgrade" the signal into an HD set, though, and look
better than you'd expect.
Yes. Same salesman wanted to sell me a $200 DVD player he says is one
step down from the true $ 6K HD DVD players. Keeps telling me I'd be
amazed by the difference.
