Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 10, 2013

Actually in HiDef you can see how much make up the talking heads are wearing. And it ain’t pretty.

Yeah, you can see every flaw in their skin. Sometimes, you can even see dandruff, if the person is wearing a black suit.

So, which looks better – network anchor # 1 … or network anchor # 2? @ 1? # 2? 1? 2?

he should be glad he was not wearing bifocals, that really messes up watching television!

With HD you can count the blades of grass on a football field——not that you would want to……

Like the guy whose wife told him they needed a new refrigerator. The changes to the kitchen to fit the new frig cost around $20,000. (The upgrades included a engineered support beam for a new bay window.)

That’s a lovely mind-picture..

Gives me another goal in life

I feel for Arlo. I thought my Hi-Def TV was going gunny-bag on me until I got my new prescription for eyeglasses….

Having HD 1080 AND 20/20 Yikes!

Arlo kindles my self-anger, all of the waste in our lives. My wife and I live with only dogs and cats, the children have grown. We have five big-screen tvs, four Win8 and/or Ubuntu computers, two tablets, Direct TV. She never uses the Wii I bought for her four years ago.

I watch exactly five minutes of television every week, the Dennis Miller routine on the Wednesday night Bill O’Reilly. We need one television, and two computers – everything else is just waste. And here I am about to go spend again for something that will just sit unused.

HD improves the female anchors’ leg shows.

As a card-carrying Luddite, I don’t care zilch about hi def, or hi fi, or whatever they’re calling it now. I cut my eye teeth on a Philco radio console that was maybe four feet tall and contained a pull-out 78 rpm record player. Don’t need anything fancier.. (While I was writing this, my husband offered me a LESSON on how to turn on the new monitor he got yesterday because the old one was fluttering for 45 seconds after it was turned on. Feh.)

But nature shows, for one thing, are wonderful in HD!

Joken- I have glasses and I can’t see any difference in HD either.

As the quality of the Pictures increase, the quallity of the programs decrease.

I recently installed an ultrahd (aka 4K) tv, player, and HTPC for a neighborhood semi-rich guy. If you thought HD was cool, 4K on a 65"+ screen will blow your mind. If you think standard definition is good enough, 4K on a 65"+ screen will have you screaming at kids to get off your dang lawn.

The first high definition TV that I ever saw was a video about a young woman going to get a make-over. It was on a $20,000 TV back about 2000,(at Sensuous Sound Systems) and it was stunning. Nice to know that I can get half that good today , for a hundred a month.
