ABC's The View going high-def September 5

by Richard Lawler posted Aug 24th 2006 at 8:12PM

One of the two TV shows needed to bring women to high definition is now going 720p. The View will switch to HDTV format September 5 as they add new host Rosie O'Donnell. While Oprah is still in SD, ABC also broadcasts Good Morning America in high def. Jessica Simpson will be a special guest on the episode, in case you needed a better reason to get up before noon other than seeing Barbara Walters (but not Star Jones) in 720 stunning vertical lines of resolution. With MHD, Food Network and now daytime television following primetime programming to HDTVs, the day when your mother/daughter/sister calls you to ask "What do you think about LCD vs. plasma TVs?" draws that much closer.

HDTV Listings for April 2, 2006

What we're watching: Crash, the Academy Award Winner for Best Picture premieres tonight at 8 on Showtime. It's got plenty of competition however, with new episodes of Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Sopranos and Cold Case all at the same time. We'll probably be checking out even more Final Four action as the women go at it tonight on ESPN-HD.

Of course, you can always check out the second part of Jeremy Piven's Journey of a Lifetime on Discovery. So many choices, so few tuners on the DVR.

Our traditional high-def listings continue below.

Women: Does Sony's new Bravia do anything for you?

by Matt Burns posted Jan 10th 2006 at 12:34PM


Sony is marketing their newest LCD line, Bravia, as a "the world's first television for men and women." Sure, we all know that there needs to be a more diverse offering in terms of HDTV programming, but is there really a TV that is meant just for men?

The new Sony Bravia's are sexy looking, that is for sure. They are sleek with the black bezel and the strip of brushed aluminum at the bottom. But so are a lot of other TVs. Hitachi makes a line of Ultravision LCDs that are extremely similar but has cleaner lines. Panasonic makes a nice looking LCD and so does Sharp. So does this TV really strike a different cord with women? Maybe.

The only way to find out if it is just marketing hype or it is really true is to ask the women. Does the look of these Sony TVs look any better to you?
