HDTV SUX

(1/4) > >>

hm_murdock:
waste of time and money

all so that they can have a better picture on their tv

why?

so that if I ever have to see buffy or some shit like that, I can see a "super clear image" with "high quality sound"

what's wrong with what we've got?

what's wrong with NTSC?



See? That's allright. I mean, look at where we've come from to get this medium quality.

In the 1980s, people brought TV shows in with rabbit ears



By the early 1990s, everybody got cable or satellite and to enjoy their better picture, they got projection TVs



amazing, isn't it? and it's so damn big so everybody can see it as long as they sit right in front of it

now we've got HDTV... let's look at this. high clarity picture and great sound



wow, dude!! look! that's beautiful! I love the HDTV aspect, too, all stretched like that, it's so realistic. and the sound! I never thought these shitty ass sitcoms could sound so real!

NOW I CAN PRETEND LIKE I'M REALLY ON THE ISLAND ON "SURVIVOR"

I was wrong to doubt HDTV it will revolutionize the universe

wait... had ya goin'... it just sux

restin256:
Heh. Had I an HDTV, I could probably compare. The TVs are something like a thousand dollars now, aren't they? And the service is only on selectively and not on the TV I actually watch.. more a waste of money than a waste of time.

Are you the second coming of Maddox?

Kintaro:
Maddox could spell and put out a better argument, theres not many places in australia where you dont get HDTV, I dont have one.

The quality on DVD's kicks ass, and there susposed to be the same. But I usually only watch the simpsons so I never bothered with it.

Refalm:
We have PAL32 here in Europe. We have a little button on our VCR from which you can switch between NTSC and PAL32. PAL32 is much better.

Umm..not quite the same. DVD is compressed MPEG-2 video at a 720x480 resolution. HDTV resolution is three times as large.
