How important is High-Definition to you?

[Durananrananrananran]

CRT TV all the way for me. I like scanlines. I have a 32 inch trinitron and it displays 360 via RGB 480i as good as I need 360 games to look. And low res stuff looks good, unlike on an LCD

I've never seen anything HD despite my LCD being HD with my PS3 and 360 hooked up it looks like complete shite. My new laptop however is apparently HD but I can't say I prefer it over my PC's CRT screen :/

I always forget to take my glasses to the cinema, so quality increases aren't noticeable over the blur.

Also, its on so much larger a screen, it's difficult to notice the difference.

Also, is a cinema screen actually high def? Its a projection, no?

We are even moving to 4k resolution.
Also remember your glasses next time.

Fair enough, but I haven't been to an IMax Cinema, and from what I can see, that's where I'd see high resolution...

HD tv is important to me for HD gaming but I won't go so far as to buy Blu-ray, because I simply can't afford it.

 

[Brian Hendershot]

Extremely important to me when playing games on my T.V. (Luckily I have a little bittie HDTV, so it wasn't extremely expensive.) It's not because I am a graphics whore or anything, it's really hard to read words on some games in SD. Other then that I would say screw HD and continue playing on SD.

 

[zehydra]

HD is awesome, I love the amount of detail.

Playing Minecraft in 1080p like a BOSS

 

[Fusioncode9]

I love playing a video game in HD or watching a bluray, I can't even watch SDTV anymore. Unless of course I'm playing my PS2.

 

[Mister Benoit]

I don't care about HD at all, graphics isn't really my thing.

It doesn't have anything to do with graphics. It all about visual clarity.

The only issue i've had is that somethings look a little too clear in 1080p, movies/ts show wise.

I'm used to it now and don't really want to go back unless it's for playing non HD games. We have an extra 32 inch SDTV for that >.>

 

[Zantos]

HD will probably mean more to me when I can afford to buy a decent TV. As for now, I can make do just fine with Xbox on an old TV, but PS3 is starting to bug me.

Can't live without it.

I have a standard tv and prefer it for gaming. I've dealt with too many friends' tvs that have issues with latency and video lag to want to game in HD on a tv.

PC on the other hand, well, ok, I still don't give a rat's ass.

 

[winter2]

Seriously, this was me the first time I went HD...

 

[DirgeNovak]

I just changed my shitty SDTV for an HD one, and the difference is huge. On my old TV, I had a lot of trouble reading the text in games like Mass Effect or Assassin's Creed since it was so tiny. It was also a mono speaker, so whenever a character to my right started talking, I had to rotate the camera to hear them, since mono sound is no longer an option in any current gen game I've played so far.

 

[Sinisstar]

Compared to SD, ya, it's pretty awesome. But comparing, say, 480P to 720P to 1080-whatever, that really doesn't matter to me.

 

[nklshaz]

I don't care that much, but obviously I'd rather have it than not have it. What bothers me is when people ***** about a Youtube video not being in HD. How can they really care whether or not a 4 minute comedy sketch is in HD.

 

[jumjalalabash]

High Definition means all your videos load as if they were trapped in cement.

 

[IkeGreil29]

I got my first HDTV less than a month ago. While my 360 looks beautiful, almost everything looks crappy, including the TV programming (signal is standard def). I'd actually like to keep using tube tv's, but thanks to technology, HDMI is the future...
I like my games to look nice. But I wouldn't mind firing up my N64 without it looking like ass because it's connected to an HDTV through an AV cable.

 

[Aurgelmir]

It's not very important to me at all. Up until 2 years ago I never owned anything HD, and I couldn't care less if it is or not. Right now I'm typing on a standard-definition monitor, while my brother is playing Gears on an HD monitor.

What resolution is this "standard def" monitor. Considering PC monitors have been having quite a lot better (or close to) HD resolution for a long time

For me it matters quite a lot. It gives a better picture, letting you see more details in movies and games.

Once you go HD you'll never go back.
