Default Does this HDTV make me look fat?

Does this HDTV make me look fat? - CNN.com

Good read. It's about how because HDTVs are so clear and have so much detail, it's quite easy to tell stuff about a person in the extreme closeup.

Some TV types say big-screen HDTV could lead to the end of the extreme close-up as we know it. Others predict hi-def fears could soon be reflected in artists' contracts.
Or perhaps it will begin reflecting the talent of the artist for once. No, wait! We can't do that now, can we? I mean, forget Aretha Franklin, where would we be with out our Ashley Simpsons?

I forsee a double in the number of plastic surgeons in the next 5 years due to the increasing popularity of HDTV







Thanks HL and Corsair!

If there is any HD geniuses here, is it really worth going to 1080p over 720p?

And Joker's got a point!
