Attn: Hi Def lovers
Now I have proof it is not my imagination. Today I did a 4 TV install with three standards and one Hi Def. As it happened, myself and the customer were able to stand at a point where we could see both the Hi Def and one of the standards at the same time. The Hi Def was hooked to a big screen Mitsubishi and the standard to a 27" Sony. I told him about you clowns worshipping the Hi Def and asked for his opinion. He agreed the standard was every bit as good as the Hi Def. But he said it did improve the picture on the Mitsubishi big screen by about 10% over the Dish Notwork he had on it before I arrived.

Yep. HBO channel 509. I think it improves the quality of a big screen but not a small screen if you use the s video hookup on the small screen. Also, how much a customer notices a difference depends on what he had before. If he was on an off air antenna or a small town cable system he will really notice a big difference. If he is already on Directv, not much.

Skip,

HD signals can not be transmitted over an S-Video cable. Therefore, there should not be a discernable difference on the smaller screen television.

Read it again. The small screen standard unit was using s video. The HD doesn't have jacks for either s video or coax cable. Thanks for playing though, n00b.

Here's an excellent comparison using Madden 2006:

SD

How old was the other guy? Did he have his glasses on? Did you have your glasses on?

As a science teacher, I think that you could only do this test with 2 TV's that were the same make and model with the same hook ups. I can definitely tell the difference with DVD's on my HDTV over DTV with S video. Is it worth the price difference yet? No.

We have a winner.

Anyway, when you see true HD broadcast there really is no comparison.

Great comparison pictures GoChiefs.

Most small screens aren't set up to take advantage of such a hi-resolution signal.

I know I wouldn't want a Hi-Def signal if I didn't have an HD-ready widescreen TV.

Compare a hi-def HDTV setup next to a standard HDTV setup (with no HD tuner) and you'll see the difference.

It's simple math, Skip.

1920x1080 > 640x480

Just watch an HD channel and then switch to an SD channel...the difference is huge.

I didn't want to believe it either....

then we went shopping for a new TV for our living room. We weren't even in the market for a HDTV or a widescreen. But after looking at the pictures and seeing the difference in the store we were sold enough to take the TV home and see what it could do for us there.

Now, I don't think I can watch 'regular' TV again. Certainly not when watching sports, especially football.

Yup, I remember the first time I saw football in HD. On one of the side line interviews where you normally only see the person being interviewed and some people standing near them. In the HD picture you could see the numbers of all the players in the middle of the field behind them, and see the crowd beyond that. Sorry, you just are not going to get that with your S-video picture.

A lot of it is in what you watch and how much you can take in.
