One of my old companies was going to do business with Monster, and our biz dev person said that the Monster guys were laughing about their best "innovation:" Clear cabling that magnified the wire inside, giving the illusion of lower-gauge copper.

But yeah, OP. I love how they give the illusion of HD - Lower the saturation and bump up the contrast.

I want to know why this digital transition reminder is running in SD on the HD PBS feed that you can only watch if you already have a digital tv. A lot of people watching HD PBS in waiting rooms at the dentist?

Why? Well, where else do you suggest they advertise it?
