I never said HDTV was perfect, I said it BLOWS AWAY even the very best analog NTSC and it does. You cant get any programming for a PC monitor and even those are rarely up to the full 1080P sets you can easily get for the HDTV format. Most widescreen LCDs for PC are currently 1600 pixels wide at most whereas full HD resolution is 1980 pixels wide.
Secondly, no 23" or 24" inch screen can even remotely come close to a home theater experience a very large HD screen will give you. It's just way too dinky and the wrong scale. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Maas Sent: Sunday, December 17, 2006 2:10 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: It's snowing in hell --OT If you want to be actually amazed, Watch some HDV footage on a 23" or 24" widescreen LCD with a system setup for editing. It's HD without all the compression (These LCD's are 1920x1200 and can play back the 1920x1080 1080p spec at native resolution) Can we say 'no compression artifacts'? -Adam J. C.
