I have a question about over-the-air HD...

does it go all the way up to 1080p? I'm debating about whether or not to buy a large 24" monitor for my computer so I can watch games in HD.

I get my HD with rabbit ears so I need to know if it comes in at 1080p so I know my investment will be worth it. Otherwise I'll just stick to good ol' 720p.

No broadcast stations are in 1080p. At least not yet. All broadcasts are in 1080i or 720p.

Doesn't matter how big your monitor is, if the resolution's too big, your software will downscale it. Even at 24" it's almost impossible to tell between the resolutions.

Unless you have a 50" or bigger, you'll notice very little difference between 720 and 1080. If you run a blu ray on a 720 under 50" and sit it next to a 1080p, there is minimal difference at best.

Right now the only source to get 1080p form is BluRay or the now defunct HDDVD. I prefer 720p to 1080i any day, no chance for artifacts on the screen. There is always the option of running all your sources through an upconverting AVR, like a 4 digit Denon. It will take a 480 input signal and upscale it to 720, or turn SD into HD. It will upscale a 720 signal, i or p, and output 1080p. Now, granted its not "true HD" but short of a trained eye and knowing what to look for, the difference in about impossible to tell. So all your sources can be upscaled, all you will be watching is High Definition, what more do you need?

Hey, maybe you should start your own business in this field or something... :D

      I kinda hate getting our pick spoiled but at least the Huddle has more Time to debate

      I don't care about offensive production for a team that literally only threw to him and the running back. I care about what I see on film:   Dude cannot separate on his own against talented LBs/S and had to be schemed open; his route running is below average; while pretty athletic, he doesn't have elite athleticism or speed; his blocking form has quite a few red flags (dude should be a dominant run blocker for his size). He was talented enough to get open in college against a slower LB/S; that won't be the case in the NFL. Not to mention, the dude pretty much was nonexistent until this year for Penn St. If I am drafting a TE in the top 10, choosing a 5th year senior that didn't do anything until his last season should be pretty alarming. Not saying he is going to be a bad player - I think he will be a solid short/intermediate possession TE in the NFL. I just don't understand the logic of taking him top 10

      No one is arguing where we were on the season.  After the benching Bryce was one of the top deep ball passers in the league.  It's a skillset he has just shown he is capable of doing.  I believe he led the league in week 12 and was one of the top ones for that final quarter.  Dance around the topic and argue the stats all you want, I'm just going by what I saw on TV and read about.   https://x.com/PattonAnalytics/status/1877044086709854343 https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/bryce-young-best-against-pressure-throwing-deep Hey it surprised me as well, but I'm not going to hide my head in the sand and try to ignore what is clearly right in front of me.  People have a hard time admitting their original thought may have been wrong.  That's just the world we live in.  We will see if Young can keep it up next year or not, but signs are point to DC running his offense regardless of who is QB.

      You are right, but as of late there has been more rookie TEs making immediate impact on teams. McBride, Laporta, Kincaid and obv Bowers.  My true opinion is the team has so many holes they can go multiple directions including Safety. So it just comes down to out of all the talent in the draft who will make the immediate impact. Wr? TE? LB?
