High Definition

I work in TV and can sometimes see the real life flaws in the sets because I’m looking at them not through the filters of the camera modes and the TV screens, but from close enough to actually touch them with my very own hands. Nevertheless, even though I’m there at the point of filming, I’m still surprisingly impressed at the end result when I watch the show on television.


High definition TV heralds a revelation to many of the mysteries behind the TV sets. With companies like Direct TV offering the option of highly defined 'picture and sound' straight to your living room, it’s no wonder TV programme makers are now making steps to improve the quality of their sets.

DirecTV apparently provides viewers with resolution so high you can almost see the pores on your news reader’s cheeks. If I were watching George Clooney, this would be a very attractive proposition, but I have to admit that if I were a big time actor, I would be terribly apprehensive about the DirectTV viewing public pointing out my every imperfection from the comfort of their settees.

Wouldn’t you?
