A bad hair day...

Picture it: you finally decide buy a nice HD LCD TV/monitor to replace your old, tiny CRT tv. You connect it to your laptop, and wow, great picture!! So far so good... What do you do next? Let's insert a really cool DVD, with great image and colours, like, let's say... ALIAS and finally see Sydney's iconic red wig on your new LCD. What do you get?

This... and this....



Sorry Syd, but you're a blurry mess! Hey Mr. (or Mrs.) SAMSUNG, you make us shell out our hard-earned money and you couldn't even include a bloody component cable so that we could fully enjoy your fine product?? Is it too much to ask?

For those of you who have no idea what component cables are, let's check what this website says:

"Component cables deliver the Hi-Definition signal required for HDTV ensuring all the clarity and depth of the signal is not lost. Component cables are also use for standard definition signals and show huge improvements over scart and composite." And apparently your connection will look something like this (once you buy them, obviously...):



Well, from what I know the improvement really is noticeable, and worth the investment. So, don't worry Syd, your red hair will look great... tomorrow.

Oh, and for those of you thinking "Why doesn't he uses his laptop DVD reader?", it's broken and only reads CDs. And guess what? It's a SAMSUNG!

@nokey: OK, go to Amazon or a nearby dvd store. Search for "Alias season 1" boxset. Proceed to the checkout and pay with cash or credit card. Go home and watch it. and then you tell me "who's that Sydney", ok?? oh, and you can thank me later ;)

@andre: haha! you thought I was going to jump on the poor guy/girl? it was an honest question and maybe he/she has lived under a rock for the last few years! btw, can YOU tell me who that sydney is? ;)
