JustGav Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 does hd really make that much difference? I didn't think it would to be honest, but so far I've got two films so far that I've compared. Gone in 60 Seconds and now Transformers.... Unless you have it though I don't think you miss it.

Muffleman Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'm the sort of sad bugger that will sit there and compare by having the HD DVD in one player and regular DVD in the other. I sat there and compared the two. Now I could see a marked difference, but the missus ? Nah, just gave me 'that' look I picked up Transformers on HD too, good innit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 My mate has Sky HD and we was watching the champions league a couple of weeks ago, we switched between normal and the HD channels and the difference is amazing! I think football is one of the things you notice it more on tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 could you explain what its like? ie crisper, has depth? i proberbly wouldent of notice if i was round someones house with it Resolution is DEFINITELY higher and that is obvious once you see it, which means things are a lot sharper. I'm not sure the colour depth is better, to be fair I'm not sure I'd notice the difference between SD and HD as far as colour range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Usually there will be an hdmi connector, you will need either a sky hd box . thats where i'm going wrong, our sky box is'ent hd,it cost loads for an hd skybox. cheers for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Must admit i have had Sky HD for over a year now and i actually don't watch it much, the sunrise earth series is quite good and some of the nature programs, but only occasionally are the films any good, a lot are just upscaled, bit of a con really.

Agreed, as far as UK available media goes, I watch a lot of the stuff like Hereos and other american series which are available in HD.

edd_t Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Transformers is the first HD DVD I've bought. I'm just waiting for my HD player and Plasma screen to arrive now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Makes more of a difference on a bigger screen. Shows like Blue Planet are usually filmed and broadcast in 1080i/p def, whereas fast moving action is at the lower 720i as the movement compromises the quality of the picture to the point where you cant see the difference.

Dr_Doom Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Transformers in HD is awesome! I've got it running on my 42" plasma.. I've also got 300 on HD which is amazing but my favorite so far has got to be Starship Troopers! that film was made for HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
