Got a crappy TV? Want a better picture? Just want it to be better and it will be. This finally explains why people claim they can/cannot see the difference between regular DVD content and HD content.
Two groups of 30 people watched the same video clip, individually, on the same television. Half were told to expect a better experience thanks to HD technology, an impression backed up by posters, flyers and an extra-thick cable connected to the screen. The other half were told to expect a normal DVD signal. In questionnaires afterwards, the group told to expect HD reported that they had witnessed significantly sharper, more detailed images.
