The Luddite Geek joins the HD crowd
In many ways I feel like I’m a Luddite geek. I’m well aware of the cutting edge of technology trends, and can explain them to my non-geek family and friends. But I am very seldom living at that cutting edge any more. I have little interest in the latest and coolest toys, I want them to be stable and proven before I jump on the bandwagon.
HD TV is there… we’ve replaced our reasonably good CRT TV with a middling size and price LCD. All I can say is “WOW!!”. Watching a DVD I know pretty well, it was amazing to see detail I hadn’t noticed before. The sharpness and clarity needs to be seen to be believed, and there is even sometimes a bit of a 3D effect, if the shot has been focused in such a way as to keep the background blurred.
I’m looking forward to seeing how sporting events look.
