I personally prefer looking at REAL white noise than looking at NASTY jpg compression.
Here's the differences--you'll probably forever notice this after seeing this if you didn't notice already:
original
analog cable
digital cable
To me, watching an old vcr tape taped on slow (slp/ep) looks better than watching many digital cable channels. I hate bad jpg compression. I've tuned in on it now to where I can even see jpg compression on a dvd on a 12 inch tv--at least with a dvd you can usually only see it on poor-quality dvds (but you can still always see it on dark lighting fades). I sometimes HATE how I notice things--I really wish I could just turn that part of me off like a switch.
The thing I wonder is whether there's ANY quality standards that are going to be implemented in 2009 besides forcing everyone to look at jpg compression. I just hate it. I REALLY hope there will be some sort of upgrade to the digital tv compression standards--like switch to jpg2000 or something, or switch to something completely new. JPG compression produces such an awful-looking image unless it's set for super-high quality. For dvds it works because they're able to have the quality up high enough--USUALLY.
Why hasn't this sort of thing been upgraded? Do people honestly not notice this? Do banking companies care that it is literally impossible to read the fine print in their commercials because the compression is so bad?
Am I alone in this?
