Someone else said the same thing but I can see a difference between nonHD and HD channels. If you're watching over S-Video you can not be watching in HD. don't bother, he is enjoy his HDTV, even if he can't tell the difference between HD and Non HD TV. I have to be totally honest here - HD is great and what not, but I honestly don't see what the fuss is about. Other than the ability to see boogers hanging out of somebodies nose, big whoop. |

It's the outdoors programs that impress me. examples... the 'Chronicle' program from ABC in Boston. Beautiful New England scenery. the show on Mount Washington was super. Lately they travelled a bit...comparing other cities to Boston... the show on Vancouver, British Columbia was great and just last week...Costa Rica. Another one is 'Rick Stevens Travels'. His early morning footage of old European cities are breathtaking. |

Didn't you notice the "flicker". Actually tolerance for flicker varies from person to person and maybe you're among the group that doesn't notice it. |

I'm one of those who gets wrapped up in details. Visually, I have a critical nature and when colors or an image doesn't "look" right, I obcess on it. Similar to when I critique a photographic image - it's the same kind of concept. The blues aren't what they should be, white are overdone, etc. Part of the problem is that much like digital photography, colors seem to be balanced to an average and not necessarily "real" color. Yes yes, technically, it's real color, clear and sharp, but that doesn't make it visually attractive. Sharp doesn't mean it's a good image and that's my problem. :) Picky, picky, picky - I know. :) |
