popularmechanics.com — Myth #3 - HD video can’t be recorded to regular DVDs. Fact: Yes it can. New blue-laser discs such as Blu-ray and HD-DVD have high capacities, up to 50GB, but conventional red-laser DVDs can hold hi-def, too. Recording capacity is about 30 minutes for an HD program with the MPEG-2 digital compression system in widespread use today.

Awesome chart. It confirms my feeling there's no difference between low-res and high-res when I watch my 21" computer screen when sitting in the couch.

1024x768 isn't considered HD.... except by maybe the people selling the tvIm happy this is finally educating people about HD not fitting on DVD's.with H264 you can have dvd5 releases with pretty sweet quality, or else, for longer movies, DVD9 releases do the job.

Why wouldn't it be acceptable? Must every consumer have your taste? There are other TVs out there, you don't have to buy one you don't like.

They skipped the main actual myth:Flat panel and HDTV are somehow related. There's plenty of tube based HDTVs out there.

Umm...yea...okay. Did they have some big advertisements for Monster Cable next to that "article".

Agreed! On a few of these, it made me go "What !?!"

1440x1080 could be 16:9 if the pixels are not square. I'm not sure what 1080i is broadcast in, but I do know that at least some codecs store less than the full width of a 1920x1080 image and specify a rectangular shaped pixel. AVCHD does that for one.

I agree 100% that #12 should have been included. So many people get upset or think that something is wrong when a picture is still letterboxed in HD
