So is Abrams and Co going to give us a directors cut with all the footage put back in the film?

I guess I have been spoiled by Pete Jackson and I would rather see the film with all the content put back in than having a flashy GUI.

Thanks for goin’ all out JJ and Co.

You’re entitled to your opinion, as am I.

I’ll stick with my 26″ tube TV and standard DVD player.

Science shows us how marvelous the human visual system. But even at that, it is far from perfect. For one, it tends to fill in the blanks. This is why many stage magic illusions work so well with nary as complicated a setup as people imagine, and DNA evidence shows eyewitness accounts not to be as reliable as most people think. Here’s the latest on what people are perceiving when they look at HD,

I don’t see the point in any higher resolution on a 32″ TV than 1080p. Arguably 720p/1080i is enough on this size of TV. It boils down to what amount of space people have for televisions.

With TV companies only just moving into HD, I can’t see that the pixel scale of most people’s TVs will change for a fair while.

A fine eye can see upto 1250 lines when the image is still and around 650 when it is in motion of 30fps. If interlased then the resolution is about half because the frame rate is 15 not 30 per second. That is why you see plenty of stair stepping with Tube TV’s.

When UHD TV comes from Japan around 2020 you’ll have to feed the industry again. At that resolution your eye may not even see lines on still pics. The UHD video format is 4x the data and 4096×20?? (the ?? can be 1920 or 2025 or 2160 depends on the lab) And on one 37″ picture tube (actually array since tubes are history) it is said the images look as good as 35mm photos. The military has has this res sensors since the mid 90’s, how do you think they can almost read your newspaper as you sit in central park in NY while they are in space. And with fractal scaling software they can read 99% of common typeset stuff, hand written is much harder.

Sorry, but your wrong. Blu-ray/HD is superior to what has come before it.
