[QUOTE="TheProfRobin, post: 868286, member: 401825"] Yes geordiejohn, I totally agree. I recall walking past a hi-def demo in John Lewis in Spring 2006 and being blown over. I ordered one there and then for the summer footie; nothing like seeing an English footballing disaster in close up. Where I live I have French subscription to Canal + and of course, also get German TV by satellite. It is not possible, by any stretch of the imagination to call the bulk of BBC's transmitted media "hi-def". It is half way between the best German hi-def and standard def. Whenever tackled on this, BBC deny it. But then they switch into denial whenever they are criticised. I was looking at the latest TVs in a shop in Bruges just before christmas and local hi-def TV on a modern 50inch screen was superb. My 2006 42 inch plasma is still going strong. Your opticians remark is also worth considering though. I recall in my 30s going round shops rejecting all CRT TVs for being soft, then found independently I needed glasses for first time in my life. I took them home and found I had a new TV for the price of a pair of glasses. [/QUOTE]
