Last Wednesday I switched over from Dishnet to Comcast cable, I managed to get a pretty good deal so I'm saving a few bucks on my channels as well as internet service. Anyway this weekend I finally got around to really just watching a few HD programs and I was floored. The best way to describe it is like looking at a high quality photograph in motion. I'm not a football fan but seeing the detail of the playing field alone made sit through about 30 minutes of a game. Even better was watching the Simpsons in High Definition, I did'nt think cartoons would see much of an improvement but I was wrong. Animation looks so much more crisp.
I was also able to watch a couple of legally obtained backup copies of movies I already own in HD and they were jawdropping. You have'nt seen Lord of the Rings until you've seen it in HD. There also seems to be a growing collection of great movies available in HD, I've heard people talk about The Crow, Underworld, The Matrix, Gangs of New York, Star Trek: Nemesis, Star Wars: AOTC and quite a few others are now floating around the net in HD. I'm patiently waiting until HiDef DVDs will be on sale, there's no going back after seeing the difference.
