[quote user="Peter "] Well I am now an owner (or at least will be when it arrives!) of a BeoTime! It is my 20th wedding anniversary today and alomng with a Basset Hound fleece, I have a picture of a BeoTime! [/quote] You really shouldn't make fleeces from Basset Hounds (even on your anniversary!)

Abstract of original report: In this article, an experiment was conducted to measure the effect of framing a high definition television (HDTV) clip. One group of participants was told they were watching a brand new HDTV clip, while the other group was told they were watching a digital DVD clip. Both groups were in fact watching the same (low) quality

[/quote] Seem to recall a similar BC1 issue where it was suggested that there might be a timer issue if CDs were found to play right through, but longer running DVD's turned off prematurely at about the same running time.

Interesting! But at full screen the SD images look a bit fuzzy, and the computer viewing distance is not comparable with a normal TV viewing distance. Is this more applicable to just viewing on a PC????? (Not sure what conclusions to draw!)

Proof that you can make yourself believe SD to be HD [here] THis must be another reason that recent B&O SD televisions regularly get mistaken for HD. Also explains why many think HD to be better at viewing distances where you couldn't tell the difference in any case! Graham

[quote user="Razlaw"] Here is a link to the main site from which the entire list is available. Also, the list is broken down by categories. The category B and O is in is Technology General.
