High definition television is something that I’ve been waiting a long time for. You see I’m a real film buff and I’ve always strived for the best possible quality when watching movies at home. This meant that while the majority of consumers were happily watching pre-recorded VHS video tapes, I was paying £50 a pop for LaserDiscs, which provided infinitely superior picture quality as well as Dolby Digital surround sound, years before the release of DVD! Obviously once DVD rolled around I proceeded to replace all my LaserDiscs and embrace the new wholly digital format – I’ve lost count of the amount of DVDs I own, but I dread to think how long it would take me to watch them back to back. But regardless of whether I was watching VHS, LaserDisc or DVD, one thing has always remained the same – the type of television I’ve watched them on.
