Why the comparison between color and HD had a clear winner

[Jonathan]

I think that back then when color first came out, they started all the engineering from the ground up. The engineers back then really smoked their brains from the designing of the 15GP22 to the chroma oscillator, they really came up with a sweet ass system years ago from the ground up.

With HDTV, the technology was modified. The same MPEG2 standard, the same dolby digital stream, the same high resolution CRTs and LCDs used in computer displays. Everything was there, it was just modified. ATSC transport stream had some heavy masth in it, but thats about it, but it was probably borrowed from DVB specs. Now adays, manufacturers are more concerned about pushing out tv's as fast as they can at large quantities, but cheap in price. I have NO respect for these manufacturers. NONE. It's a shame that engineers are told to come up with the cheapest design available that works. I can't stand this made in China crap.
