[[One person is pointing to a huge flatscreen HDTV on the wall. The other is holding a cell phone.]]
HDTV Owner: Check out my new HDTV--a beautiful, high-def 1080p.
Friend: Wow, that's over TWICE the horizontal resolution of my cell phone.
Friend: In fact, it almost beats the LCD monitor I got in 2004.
It baffles me that people find HDTV impressive.
{{Title text: We're also stuck with blurry, juddery, slow-panning 24fps movies forever because (thanks to 60fps home video) people associate high framerates with camcorders and cheap sitcoms, and thus think good framerates look 'fake'.}}
