720p vs. 1080i - The Great HD TV Debate Explained and Solved
by Volker Weber
Listen to Rory:
I bought an HD TV a few months ago, and it's made my life very complicated. With my old piece of crap TV, I just plugged it in, turned it on, and watched 90210 reruns until I was sated. Now I have to screw with component cables, industry standards, and manuals that are so thick you'd think Tolstoy had written them (that is, in Korean which was then translated to English by an Eskimo with a Korean/English decoder wheel that he found in a box of cereal (and, yes, Tolstoy was fluent in Korean, and he did write technical manuals, and you're wrong if you say I'm wrong, and, anyway, he's dead now so it's not like you can ask him)).
And it only gets better ... :-)

That's just brilliant. And he used the term "puddinghead", which I think I need to adopt. Thanks Volker!
That.
Was.
AWESOME!!
Brilliant!
Now, let's move on to important discussions…
Bosch or Hilti?
;-)
Karsten, that's a trick question, right?
Let's talk better about the feeds. So many HD feeds simply don't have bandwidth yet. Wonderful digital artifacts.
When it works, 1080i is a thing of beauty. Mine's a Samsung.
