New HD TVs with no Freeview HD
 

Having said that, someone I know was quite disappointed by hd on his LG so
called hd tv. He said that the slightly less definition looked better to him
than the weird churning effects on grass and some water scenes in HD. I
guess the eyes must pick up on an natural effects but can tolerate blurring
as normal.
I of course would not care either way!

it. I have HD on satellite but seldom make a point of watching in HD.
Sure, there's a significant difference, but it seems to me that the
upscaling and image processing of SD material (when downscaled from HD)
is so good that HD could almost be considered a waste of bandwidth !



you need new eyes - either that or to stop watching your tv from the
bottom of your garden.

Sigh - same old bull****.
Distance from the TV is crucial and across the average suburban
living room there isn't much percievable difference.

I must have supernatural eyes then. From twelve feet the difference on
a 40" screen is massive.

Me too, on a 42" from 15ft.

Are they sorted by price or popularity, where the cheapest come first?

I believe it's customary to make a Specsavers reference here.

I can see a noticable difference between BBC1 and 1HD

I recently installed a 21" Sony HD set for an 89 year old lady and she
marvelled at the quality of the HD picture. I switched to SD several times
and she always spotted it.

What resolution HD?

And what viewing distance?
