Lately, High Definition TVs have been very popular because they are a new technology that has come about the last ten years and change the way we view content on television. HDTVs have been so popular that almost every network has a HD channel that broadcasts the same content in HD. To get a good example of this phenomenon pay close attention to the local news and there will be an indication that is also being broadcasted in HD. In my weekly analysis I chose to write about a new technology that has revolutionized the way we watch television. That technology being High Definition of course, High Definition or HD for short is the newest technology for television view and the best thing that happened to television since the transition to color television was first introduced. In the earlier days, or more like before the 2000s regular television was always broadcasted in analog receptions, but since the digital transmitting age started newer more HD capable TVs were produced, thus resulting in the popularity of the HD capable televisions today. Along with HD television videos have also changed to HD formatting for example, HDDVD are super DVDs that have HD capabilities as well as hold even more content then regular DVDs. Another example of these super DVDs is the Blu-ray disk which holds even more than HDDVD and offers the best resolution of any resolution.
High Definition televisions became known in the late 1930s according to Wikipedia.org but the true digital revolution started in the early 2000 in my opinion because prior to 1999 I had no idea that there was a special technology dedicated to the improvement of television viewing and since have been excited about the changes that took place over the years. Now a days, people have more vocal about up grading their televisions to HD capable because HD allows people to view content the way it was meant to be which is crystal clear. High Definition televisions offer picture clarity that cannot be compared to anything else in the market today along with a surround sound that will blow minds away. I can remember the first time I bought my television. I was very excited to have an HD television then I found out I did not have the right cables to go along with it. Come to think about it there are special cable that make a television HD capable as well as an HD cable box supplied by the cable or satellite provider then I was introduced to truly HD content. Oh just thinking about watching football in HD was worth all the trouble of purchasing a new TV, cables, and a special HD box. Today almost everyone I know has an HD TV and the popularity of HDTVs is just growing enormous that’s why I just can’t wait to experience what will come out next.
