[QuadList] Danny Kaye Show

Amen to that- "Some of this must stem from watching taped SD content 
on a 60" LCD  monitor where everything other than HD content looks like 
a  third-generation VHS dub."

In April of 2009, Boland released its first HD-series model of monitors.  
Finally, HD SDI monitors on 1920x1080 screens but with a perfect 
NTSC decoder and scalar inside.  Not that the  previous generation 
NTSC decoders and processors weren't good, but now with full 
implementation of all of the Faroudja image processing elements 
(patents), in digital, on one piece of silicon- No dot crawls, no temporal 
errors, near-perfect chroma rise-times (to the limit of the bandwidth of 
IQ decoding)*.  All just in time for HD to really take off and the signal 
distributors (cable, satellite) to really compress all the detail out of 
SD (to squeeze as many streams as possible into the bandwidth).  
And to try to push people to the higher (more espensive) HD tiers?

If you have a chance to work with original NTSC (or PAL) recordings, 
and want see what they really looked like, borrow an HD- or HX-42 
(42") or larger series Boland monitor sometime.  Yves Faroudja used 
to say, "NTSC is the best system".  In that time frame, he had good 
reasons to say that.  He laid the foundations for our modern formats 
in spades.

*in my humble opinion, probably the best SD in the industry :-)
