If no one ever adapts to newer technology because theres soemthing else around the corner, nothing would ever happen. That's pretty obvious.
Lastly, if you can't notice a significant difference between SDTV and HDTV, then you need to go to an eye doctor.
READ what im fvckin writing before whinning and blasting me like you do.
I refuse to continue this conversation with you.Im here to discuss freely about a subject and you just bash me about my opinion.
Farewell
That's the problem with opinions..many times they remain unfounded and rather lame.
You see, the jump from analog to digital is HUGE. We are talking about our entire infrasturcuture openign a ton of radio space for D/A to A/D conversion. It will open a flood gate that has been wanting to breach fro some time to come...jsut think, wimax, everywhere:heart:
As for SDTV to HDTV, the jump is massive, but on another front.
For the most part, we are talking about resolutions approaching a dozen times better than regular SDTV. That is HUGE> Frankly, I can't see how anyone in their right mind could say that that isn't an enormous leap.
And think about this too...how long have we had EDTV, DVDs, how long have we had VHS, SDTV? TO say the DVDs are dead is quite a claim and you best back it up before psoting something so frivilous.
As for 1080p, you need to readd up before posting nonsensical jibberish on here. I don't mean that as an insult. I REALLY mean that as an insult. People on these boards come here because we give them good info, and people shouting off their mouth about things that are a mathematical impossibility make it hard for the truth to get out.
The fact of the matter is that SDTV has lasted for decades, VHS lasted like 2, DVD is at the mark, and still it has not had complete market penetration. These thigns take time, these thigns take content, and these thing require adaquate infrastructure, something that 1080p would overwhelm.
I quote
That starts with the video produced from 1080p cameras. At present, 720p and 1080i cameras output video at about 1.5 Gigabits per second, but 1080p would roughly double that to 3 Gbps, Pagano says. To convert that into a standard 19.4 Megabit per second channel for transmission across a cable network, "there's a whole set of other technologies that have got to be accomplished in between there."

Frankly, 1080p is a novelty, a technological milestone that had to be reached to sway the critiques that said nay to interlaced video. It is indeed a momentous achievement, but jsut that, an achievement.
Frankly, everyone is saying that 1080p is FANTASTIC for offline content, and everyone is saying that our infrastructure can't handle it for on-demand online delivery.
Please, do everyone a favor and go read up on this and then talk if you want.
Not only are you making a fool out of yourself, but you are misleading droves of newbies.
Do I want a 1080p?
Why?
Because I know what to do with it. I know that I don't ahve a vid card that can play games at such a high res. I know I don't have more than two movies that are encoded in 1080p. but you know what>I have this thing, this deinterlacer thigny that makes all my wildest wet dreams come true.....
ah...I'm just ranting now.
dude...go read a book.
