resolution validation
the previous post was babbling about what a waste atsc and hdtv have been. i ran across a post today that includes a graph for when resolutions start to matter. as expected, most people with 20/20 won’t be able to notice unless they have a 30″+ display.
granted, years from now it might matter, but i remain unconvinced that most people even 20 years from now will have a 50″+ display. it’s basically everyone subsidizing the cost of a few people’s home theaters. the bump to 720p would have been sufficient. 576p (pal dvd) isn’t listed, but you would assume it would just move the line a reasonable amount farther out.
