We were early adopters and had a Superbowl party. Almost to a person the reaction was “this is it?” Cause in your minds eye TV was always that clear.
Then later the HDTV signal was having issues so it flipped to the SD signal and for a few seconds until we all adjusted it looked like someone recreating the sb in Techmo Bowl. The whole room went “woah!”.
Now to be completely fair HDTVs were worse at showing sd than a tube TV, but still. There are definitely things there you notice the downgrade after way more than the upgrade.
My wife’s crossover feels like driving a school bus towing an aircraft carrier. I used to think it was zippy for it’s size.
I remember telling people that about HDTV.
