Re: [Avid-L2] Better vs. More

 

From what I've seen of "Mr. Joe Public" and his viewing habits here in the US, the worst constraint of quality isn't the screen, nor the broadcaster's signal, but the delivery bandwidth.  E.g. the Netflix "Super HD" streams run at a paltry 6 mbits/sec.:

How is an average consumer going to see any improved picture at home, with any new screen, if he only gets fed 6 mbps?

Many of us seem to forget that the recent spike in TV sales had less to do with the quality of the image as the size and shape of the set. Once everyone has replaced their bulky CRT there is little incentive to replace the LCD:
