Into the Blu(and red)

Miktrebla and I (mostly I) have decided to document our commentary on the slow march towards HD. Sure this blog might be a decade overdue but personally, I feel like there is still so much misinformation and misconceptions about what it is to see something in HD. For me, HD is something you just have to be there for. Unless you have an HD display (a fair amount of people do) all the trailers and screen shots are not HD. I reckon some of the resistance to conversion comes from people not being impressed with the 720x480 screen shot they see of a Blu Ray movie, but believe you me, HD is coming.

Right now, HD is about choices, and confusion. From disc formats to display resolutions to consoles to digital inputs, there are a maze of choices before you can reach the visual(and aural) nirvana we call HD. Hopefully down the line some of those choices will become streamlined, but a lot of them are here to stay. Nothing Albert and I will write can change the future of HD; we're merely conscientious observers of a revolution. We invite you to be one too, because nobody wants to be on the wrong side of a revolution. (HD-DuD...... ZING!)


We'll see how long this lasts.
