Some of the more recent posts have dealt with HD TV and the porn industry. I'm pretty up to date on my porn knowledge, but I want to find out people's opinions of HD TV. When I'm in Best Buy, I always manage to spend a good ammount of time in the TV section. Often I'm struck by how vivid the plasma screens and HD TVs look. But sometimes I look at the 64 inch HD flat screens and think how FAKE they look. Some of the colors seem kind of ridiculous. Lips too red here, eyes to brown there. How "scientifically accurate" is HD TV? Are there any experts among you who can tell me how close HD actually is to real life? One part of me feels like the subjects of the novel "The Giver," in which the characters only see in grayscale, blind to the existence of color. From this perspective, I should just accept that Hi Def is simply making available an array of colors I've never seen before, but that have really always been there. But another part of me thinks: these corporations are creating "vivid" colors out of nowhere, just because the scientists think it looks better. Basically, I'm concerned with what is considered realistic, or vibrant, and whether HD TV is actually getting us closer to this perfection. After all, TV is a mode of "representation." Are there other methods besides HD?
