When a really good HDTV display is given an inferior analogue signal you're not seeing HD. And who's the biggest culprit when it comes to displaying high-quality HDTVs with low quality distributed analogue TV signals? Tesco, that's who.
Although my main focus is digital video of the sort that's created by camcorders, I'm naturally interested in the stuff that helps us to share and view the clips we shoot with such devices.
With the current rush to buy HD television displays - the bigger the better - it's no surprise that there are lots of opportunities for retailers to pull the wool over people's eyes when they should be making it easy for them to make informed choices.
The one thing, above all others in this respect, that I find astounding is the way retailers display their HDTV models. If you're set on buying a new HD television and you're casting your eyes over a bewildering array of screens - how are you meant to decide which is best for you if the screens aren't displaying true high definition signals?
Perhaps certain high street retailers would rather you didn't see them in their best light? You have to wonder, don't you!
