This week Ross is visiting Slovakia and Tim and Dominik discuss High Definition TVs and video players. First some news:
- Amazon starts an MP3 download service
- Woman in US loses court case with RIAA for sharing music
What we discussed about HD TV:
- What is HD? Resolution of monitor 720 or 1080 vertical pixels
- Why buy or not buy an HD TV? Not enough HD video sources! Sky HD and some cable.
- Differences between plasma and LCD?
- Why not buy Blueray or HD DVD yet? We shouldn't encourage the format wars!
- For regular DVDs on an HD TV you need an upscaling or upconverting DVD player.
