subject: Is There A Difference In Hd And Standard Picture Televisions? [print this page] I love movies and I love playing video gamesI love movies and I love playing video games. And even though I'm not a fourteen year old or a retiree, I take my movie watching and gaming very seriously. That being said, these activities need to be done on the proper kind of TV.
For anybody that has made the jump to the new generation of television, and this will include any HD television despite its pixel number; you cant go back. Once you have watched TV in hi def and for most people, the difference between 720 and 1080 isn't easily identified, you just cant go back to the old way of watching standard definition television. It just doesnt work and it is almost enough to make you just say forget it and grab a book.
Once hi def has become part of the family, it's difficult to kick it out in the street. It really does make that much of a difference. Early on, before it was so popular and affordable to the masses, most people would say it didnt matter. It was only television after all and what did it matter if it was in HD or not? We all know that the argument of it just being television and what the big deal is laughable and it really does make a massive difference. If most people had a choice, they would not give up their HDTV without a fight.
It's almost like when people started switching from VHS to DVD. It took a little while and a lot of people didnt buy into the change for a long time, but once they did, they could never go back to the old tapes. Have you popped a VHS tape into a VCR in the past five years? If you have, then you understand why the change was so popular and really did catch on much quicker than any other format ever had before it.
It is the difference between watching a movie in crystal clear clarity and watching a movie when gazing through the greasy back widow of a New York taxi cab. It really is night and day and the same is true of the newest television and what most people grew up watching. Throw in a Blu-ray player and it's almost like being there in person and watching them film the picture on the set. If they could somehow make you smell what is going on, it would be more realistic than being there.
