Forums - General - SDTV? Where'd they go?!

Crono on 18 July 2007

If you're going to buy a new TV, might as well go HD. ED is only slightly less expensive, and they still look like ass.

What I need is a nice video processor that will turn everything into DVI. I've come to realize that the video processor in my TV sucks, and thats why SDTV content looks crummy on it.

Wii: 14 million by January  I sold myself short

360: 13 million by January I sold microsoft short, but not as bad as Nintendo.

PS3: 6 million by January. If it approaches 8 mil i'll eat crow  Mnn Crow is yummy.

With these results, I've determined that I suck at long term predictions, and will not long term predict anything ever again. Thus spaketh Crono.

Ahh I haven't had a new TV in ages, the one I have may very well be older than me! It's certainly on it's last legs too so I need a new one very soon.

Besides, I'd have to make myself get an EDTV. If I wanted HD and being the technophile that I am, I would have to go full on. High contrast ratio, 1080p, the lot lol, I couldn't cut out on the specs.

EDTV certainly isn't a shit format, and it's a nice middle step from SD to HD.

Kwaad why are you even bothering with this 1080p CRAP??? Look at the REAL future: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_High_Definition_Video

"Super Hi-Vision, also known as Ultra High Definition Video, UHDV, Ultra High Definition Television, UHDTV and UHD is a digital video format, currently proposed by NHK of Japan.

UHDV resolution shown in comparison to other digital video formats.The new format with a resolution of 7,680 × 4,320 pixels is four times as wide and four times as high (for a total of 16 times the pixel resolution) as existing HDTV, which has a maximum resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels."

Then of course you will need a better storage format because the movies will be like 1 terrabyte: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc

"Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) is an optical disc technology still in the research stage which would hold up to 3.9 terabytes (TB) of information. "

Gosh GET WITH THE FUTURE KWAAD.

UHDTV, for when you absolutley must be able to make out that football players facial stubble, from the nosebleed section.
