The Difference is Clear! SMU HiDef Cable TV!

What is High Definition TV?
High Definition TV, HiDef, or HD is the next revolution in home entertainment. Just like Americans traded in their black-and-white TV's for color sets in the 1960's, millions of American households have made the switch to High Definition. Why?

HD Looks Sharper: Remember the first time you watched a movie on DVD...how much better it looked than your old VCR? Upgrading to HDis like that...only better! A HD picture is several times sharper than a regular TV picture, and at least twice as sharp as a DVD. The stunning detail of HD creates an almost 3-D sensation. You'll be stunned by the beauty of your favorite programs in HD! It can't really be described...it must be experienced. To experience HD, visit SMU or one of our local electronic retailers!

HD Looks Bigger: A HD picture uses a widescreen format similar to that of a movie screen. This more panoramic view gives you more image to enjoy and helps you immerse yourself in the program you are watching. Also, most HD TV's are larger than the TV you're used to, with screen sizes of 42 inches to over 70 inches! With HD, your whole TV-watching experience will change for the better!

HD Sounds Better: As if a crystal-clear picture weren't enough, HD also brings you a better audio experience. While regular TV at most brings you two channels of stereo sound, HD presents digital 5.1-channel surround sound. When hooked up to your home theater system, HD will bring the action to life in your living room.

Now, SMU HiDef Cable is ready to transform your home entertainment experience!
