Fjernsynet er dog et 4:3 og det fremgår, at det kan vise 1080i, men der står ikke noget om, at billedet nedskaleres eller vises i fuld størrelse. Sony bruger blot Hi-Scan 1080i som et varemærke. Der findes dog to andre modeller, som kan håndtere HDTV og som er i 16:9; http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store /en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?ProductSKU=KD34 XBR960N&Dept=tvvideo&CategoryName=tv_hdtv_tube_34%22 to36%22 http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store /en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?ProductSKU=KD34 XS955&Dept=tvvideo&CategoryName=tv_hdtv_tube_34%22to 36%22 Anede ikke de eksisterede! Overholder amerikanerne de samme standarder som vi kommer til i Europa?

Lige præcis mht. HD, så er amerikanerne lysår foran Europa. De er blevet forkælet med HDTV i nogle år efterhånden.

Bare for at få hele historien med:

1990s - Japan began broadcasting analog HDTV signals in the early 1990s using an interlaced resolution of 1035 lines (1035i).

1996: Broadcasters and television and PC manufacturers agree on a standard for HDTV (high-definition digital television).

HDTV is broadcast and received live at test station WHD-TV in Washington, D.C

HDTV sets became available in the U.S. in 1998 and broadcasts began around November 1998. The first public HDTV broadcast was of the launch of the space shuttle Discovery and John Glenn's return to space.

1999: Time Warner Cable launches HBO in HD, becoming the first in the industry to offer all of the great high definition movies and TV shows carried by the premium channel.

Fall 1999: Regular network HDTV broadcasts begin, including ABC's Monday Night Football, NBC's The Tonight Show, and CBS's complete prime time lineup except news and "reality" shows. (Of course, only a small percentage of the networks' local affiliate stations are equipped to broadcast in HDTV.)

December 2002: The CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) and cable TV industry sign an HDTV plug-and-play agreement. The goals are to speed the availability of HDTV programming to the nearly 70 percent of American households that rely on cable for their primary television signal, and to ensure compatibility between future TVs and HDTV-capable cable boxes. (Currently awaiting FCC approval.)

Så jo, de har været foran, men den største del af amerikanerne har ikke haft mulighed for at være med fra start, hvorfor lysår måske er lidt af en overdrivelse, men det kommer naturligvis an på deifnition.

Den sidste anmærkning på engelsk tyder i hvert fald på, at der er rigtig mange som stadig ikke kan se HDTV.

Så er alle der læser dette lige kloge - eller dumme, alt efter observans
