HDTV: 10 Things That Don't Make Sense

Quote:
By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (March 17, 2010) -- During the course of a day, I read dozens of news articles about High-Definition TV. But the articles often leave me asking more questions than answering them.

It's not the fault of the writers (well, not always). Usually, it's the TV executives who are quoted in the stories. They purposely leave things vague or sometimes tell outright falsehoods in an attempt to fool the public.

Companies love to create certain perceptions, even if they defy common sense and truth.

So, as a public service, I thought I would comment on 10 things in HDTV that recently hit me as simply not making sense.
