Animals, now in high-def
I just got my first hige definition television. I know I’m late to the party, but I finally got there. I bought a used 51-inch HDTV, and I must say I couldn’t be happier.
I’m a sports fan, and ESPN definitely looks wonderful on the big HD screen. But I’ve found my favorite thing to watch is wildlife. Discover Channel, the Science Channel and Animal Planet are getting more of my viewing time than ever before. Shows like Planet Earth, with its close-up view of wildlife, look absolutely stunning in high definition. I find myself just staring at the screen in amazement at how beautiful it looks.
I’m not even sure it would look that good if I saw it in-person. Maybe that’s a good thing, because I can’t imagine that I want to get right in the face of a full-grown grizzly or a pack of wolves on the hunt.
Still, if any of you out there are high-def laggers like I was, I must recommend you make the leap. It will change the way you watch television.
