HDTV: The plane that most Lost viewers never saw

by Kevin C. Tofel, posted Jan 27th 2006 at 9:10AM

Our peeps over at TV Squad alerted us to something that the SD viewers of "Lost" didn't see this week. In a dream sequence that Charlie has, there is a plane crashing on the left side of the screen; it takes a 16:9 screen to see it, so you 4:3 viewers, here's the plane that you heard but never saw. Isn't it time to get rid of that squarish, clunker of an analog set? Without HD, all of the super-cool widescreen effects are just "Lost" on you!

It's not HD related at all, here in the UK we don't have HD broadcast yet we've had widescreen for many years. It's like that "earl" easter egg where Randy holds up that paper, it's easy to spot on SDTV

Yeah, as much as I love HD (and wish I could fit one in my dorm room) it wasn't necessary to see the plane... I saw it on my old clunker of a 13" CRT TV.

I know its really very bad when we dont able to know that what happen, as the main part has been perform in the side screen and we dont able to know actually what happened.
