Last week we brought you, our valued readers, a mainstream media story that got it right. Andrew, from USA Today, wrote a great article that addressed all types of HD questions and myths. Hot on his tails is ABC News with their guide to high definition in light of Good Morning America going high-def. We have all seen high-def guides from big news sources but this is one is short and sweet. Right to the point.
It is nice to the 'press' finally getting high-def right. There is so much bad information out there, like Kevin’s find in Best Buy's ad, that uneducated consumers get bogged down in it and ether buy the wrong TV for them or simply give up. Don't blame the consumer though; it is their reliable sources that are telling them that plasma have to be recharged. (AP article from about a year ago) Perhaps times are changing and people can start to relay on non-technical sources for info about HDTV.
Businessweek also has an HDTV guide today.
The guy complains about plasmas that are 720p native, saying that they "throw away" information in the 1080i stream.
Does anyone else have a problem with that statement? 720p is still HD, and all the set is doing is deinterlacing the 1080i.
I'm more concerned with all the crappy EDTV sets out there than the native 720p ones.
