There aren't very many people at all that don't know what the letters "HD" in front of TV means. Television has been more prolific than automobiles in the US for decades, where over 80% of the homes in America have one TV and over 60% have two or more. So for people to know and love HDTV is only to be expected.
The promise of HDTV has been there for a long time. Full wide screen presentation of movies the way they were meant to be seen at the theater was the main focus for years. The drawback to that was, most people were perfectly happy watching a 16:9 theater movie that has been cropped to 4:3 for regular TV. While many purists were willing to spend the money for top end equipment, the average person just wasn't willing to part with the extra dollars. But when digital signals were used, boosting the quality of the image on the screen from 500 scan lines for regular NTSC up to an astounding 1080 pixels per inch, the quality of the video literally jumps out at you. From the fuzzy screens of the past to the crystal clear crispness, HDTV truly became something worth having. Even the average Joe could see the difference.
Sporting events became a lot more enjoyable. Not only can you see the ball better during baseball games, but you can now literally count the blades of grass if the camera were at ground level. What stereo sound had done for the audio, HD did for the video. Broadcasters can now show more of the field. They can put stats and info boards on the screen without affecting the quality of the picture they're presenting to their audiences. And, more importantly, broadcasters can now sell more ad space on their screens for added revenues during sporting events.
And while you do get to watch movies in that same 16:9 wide screen format like they do at the theater, but you also get the digital crispness to get as much out of the movie as possible. Even 3-D movies look that much more realistic with HD than ever before. And with more "live shot" shows like reality TV, more and more are taking advantage of HD technology to wow the consumer with great video. From the scenic shows all the way through the "too close for comfort" conflict shows, HDTV brings all that into sharper focus than ever before.
Some would say that the expense involved in upgrading is still too high. But, between all the great deals being offered by satellite providers for free equipment and great programming, all you have to do is purchase a HDTV. And those can be had for cheap if you take the time to look. Upgrading today means you get to enjoy some truly great TV.
