Re: Technology requires moving forward, not backwa
Most consumers get 19 mbits at best .. 1080p and 720p look about the same at that bit rate. 1080i still has interlace artifacts.
A decent 1080p pro monitor is $25K for a 22 inch .. and we are talking gigabit plus data rates.
I'll take my DLP at home over the pro monitors at work .. bigger, brighter and 1/10 the cost.
The HD Tivos are here and already well hacked .. 4 tuners on the direct TV models and they will record two HD channels at once. They are linux based so 3rd party web control interfaces etc.
Off air HD looks great .. check out CSI or live sports!
HBO is good too .. Movies, Sopranos, Six feet under are all hi def.
NTSC is getting to be like dial up! |
