I dont see how a high quality moving pictures could be "boring" to some how enjoys high quality **still** pictures. Motion picturs can be an art form, and as such some of them can be greatly more appreciated and enjoyed with signifigantly better picture quality. Enough so to the point that boredom can be transformed into artistic communication between the filmmaker and the viewer.
I cant see how many of you can be so concerned about MP, color space, color gamut, raw vs. jpeg, color balance, etc. and then say it doesnt matter that the old crappy ntsc picture is far worse than what HD provides. These are the very same things. HDTV is way better, and if you check the current prices, very affordable to the average person, not only the rich and famous. I posted this three times already: they cost less than a regular tv's did 10 years ago of the same size screen but the HDTV picture quality blows away those 10 yr old sets. There has never been a better time to upgrade a tv than today if you still are watching ntsc. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Digital Image Studio Sent: Sunday, December 17, 2006 4:53 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: It's snowing in hell --OT On 18/12/06, Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I applaud Graywolf's economical choice, but I disagree with Adam's > evaluation of HDTV.

I suspect the inference was that regardless it's only TV. For my perspective a 5" B&W would do me, in fact it did for quite some time. DVD, well each PC has a couple of readers/writers but there ain't one connected to the main TV. Sitting in front of a TV regardless of the program material just bores the heck out of me for the most part. Go Tom, sounds like you got a bargain there mate, enjoy it for what it's worth! ;-) -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
