Key Post: Widescreen TV.

Re: pathetic

Please note posting guideline 11 - Attack the post, not the person. And yes, I'm sure that most sane people gave up on this thread yonks ago.

You might be dissapointed to note that our views are not that far apart.

I'd agree that WS/surround sound does offer benefits for watching DVD's. If you watch a lot of DVD's, then it may well be your best choice. If you watch a lot of Sky sports, then WS may well be you best choice.

Most people I know don't - they spend most of their time watching the Simpsons & Eastenders & Inspector Morse. My little one-man campaign is really aimed at ensuring that people understand they will get no benefit (and indeed some pain) from their WS/surround sound system when watching most terrestrial TV programs today.
 
Re: pathetic

Just a point on surround sound not being available for eastenders and the likes, nearly all surround sound systems now have dolby pro logic which can convert normal 2 channel sound from any programme into 5.1 surround sound. It's obviously not as good as programmes which have been recorded in 5.1, but it ain't bad.
