It's Anti Hi Definition Day!
From Wratty @ 3/29/2006 07:57:00 AM
You could just say we're bitter because we haven't got anything Hi Def and that we can't afford it or are just plain ignorant of the future.
Warning: for those willing to continue beware that we will be sounding like those crazy old men you see walking round with bits of string still thinking they've got a dog attached to it.
look, a waterfall - with HD you'll be able to see it as if you were actually there
Let's get to the point shall we...
ANTI HI DEFINITION DAY - Why?
- Nobody anywhere understands it, even the chaps who invented it. It was sort of an accident, like Frankenstein. Ask a bloke in Dixons which set to buy and why and he'll just point to the biggest one. For something that's supposed to be a revolution in clarity, is anyone actually clear on what we're getting ourselves into here?
- Its only really there because people want big tellys. If you stuck with a small TV, normal broadcasts you'd be ok.
- Think about one of the reasons for buying HD. "Everything will look clearer". You can get this effect by looking at the snowstorm image a regular telly gives when you don't tune it in properly. Stare at the snowstorm for about 5 minutes and then watch something on Sky One. Crystal clear.
- According to the newspaper "The Mail" the other week, there's only one true HD set (some Phillips 32 inch one) on the market. Apparently the other ones available to buy right now are once more going to be obsolete soon and manufacturers are going to silently switch to this other type! How many different types are there?!?!
- What is HDMI? It sounds like a sexually transmitted disease but is it actually the HD version of a scart cable?
- We just play our XBox 360 on our computer monitor - so why bother with anything else?!!
- Will we have to buy a bigger house to actually fit a bigger telly in?
- Why do we have to choose between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray? If Sony and whoever makes HD-DVD are reading this - sort your bloody lives out.
- What was wrong with Betamax? Where did those laser discs go?
- How can it not benefit the porn industry?
- How much money are we going to spend replacing our DVD collection?
- Do we care enough about it? Do we know enough about it?
- Whats next? Hi Definition sounds? Ah come on now!!!
- Is it actually just a conspiracy created by a group of fat people who don't want to leave their houses just go to see what a waterfall looks like with the naked eye?
Join us now and celebrate this joyous day. Take to the streets and begin the chanting:
"SAY NO TO CLARITY"
Consumer electronics companies need to create new demand for new products to keep growing, which is what the stockmarket demands in order to increase share prices. HD is just another in a long line of must-have innovations which are desinged to make new markets and sell new stuff. The movie industry gets a major boost too as they can re-release everything again, just after the DVD bonanza!!! Brilliant really. The only thing is that we have reached a stage in tech development that the aerospace industry reached back in the 80's in that tech evolves so fast that by the time you bring a new product to market it's already two generations old. Blu-Ray & HD-DVD are a perfect example. The tech is over ten years old now and has been superceded three times over already.
Huh?
I read all that using me HDTV!
but was it really worth it?
and what telly did you have?!?!!?
HELP!
i read all that using my eyes.
and a dictionary.
