monitor versus TV, clarity

[ultraport]

Looking at an HD TV in a store, the pixilation is noticeable from a
few feet away. But looking at HD TV on my 26" monitor from only inches
away, you cannot see pixilation at all. I have never seen a better
picture. Ultra crisp and clear broadcast TV is the source.

Garbage in, garbage out. They're all pixels. Understanding
specifications and matching that to the subsystem (GPU/CPU) for source-
to-application limits is within reason precisely why the best do what
they apparently do.

All except for Galaxy on Newegg selling a PCI 2.0 (not one, but still
has a fan) DDR5 card for $29. Not that I really need a $100+ DDR5
memory card for very large panels and audeovisual multimedia I run
with my computers, (unless troubleshooting with a lightweight 20"
Samsung Syncmaster), but going to Galaxy's website with a valid email
and working printer as a PDF stipulation for the $30 rebate makes me
queasy. Best now, btw, for breaking down a computer, isn't HDTV, but
installing any one of the games calling for the newest specifications.

OTA versus cable ? Different compression ratio ?

The OTA we've got here, doesn't mux channels, so potentially
the quality could be better. On cable, I think in some cases
they have four sub-channels stuffed into one slot, which plays
hell with the quality.

Here, I guess it's typical big city broadcast HD TV. A headshot is
about clear enough to see eye veins. I can see every tiny blemish. My
monitor viewing angle sucks badly. Maybe that has something to do with
the extreme clarity.Whatever the reason , I have never seen store TV
that looks anything like it.
