I know Blu-ray is EngadgetHD/DM's personal crusade and there's a clan who rush in to blindly cheer-lead for it at ever turn but this has is not primarily about disc based movies.

A large number of TV broadcasts, the overwhelming majority no less, are going to be in SD for many years to come.

Just like the vast bulk of movies available are on DVD and that will be the case no matter what else happens for many years to come.

So why shouldn't Toshiba, Sharp and Hitachi et al continue to push the envelope for better and better upscaling/upconversion on SD content?

TBH the relentless digs and snidey inuendo about this just smack of blinkered small-minded schoolboy stupidity.]]>Sep 25th 2008 1:48PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/25/hitachi-makes-like-toshiba-and-touts-super-resolution-technolog/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/25/hitachi-makes-like-toshiba-and-touts-super-resolution-technolog/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z48089sYvvo

I dont think there is anything wrong with upscaling SD content, especially if the results look really good, but I would like to see more HD content in the future and less of these technologies that cling onto the past. ]]>Sep 25th 2008 4:08PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/25/hitachi-makes-like-toshiba-and-touts-super-resolution-technolog/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/25/hitachi-makes-like-toshiba-and-touts-super-resolution-technolog/Sep 26th 2008 1:02AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/25/hitachi-makes-like-toshiba-and-touts-super-resolution-technolog/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/25/hitachi-makes-like-toshiba-and-touts-super-resolution-technolog/
Engadget can't stand it! HHAAHAHAHAHA!!!

It will be only when Sony incorporates SRT into their TVs and DVD players that Engadget will pull a 180 and say that Sony's version is fantastic, while all others suck.]]>Sep 30th 2008 4:08PM
