Masters Made for HDTV
Masters made for HDTV? You bet! The Masters golf major is the best sport to watch in high definition. The event puts your TV to the test and lets every detail and every ability of your TV shine through. Every color pixel jumps off the screen. Every sound, from the birds chirping to the caddies talking strategy with the golfers, to the music dancing through your sound system, the Masters was made for HDTV.
MASTERS MADE FOR HDTV
I’m old enough to remember watching 46 year old Jack Nicklaus win the Masters. I watched it on a square non-high def TV. It was a bit grainy and the colors didn’t pop the way they do now. But we were used to it so we did not know what we were missing. Fast forward to the early 2000’s when I purchased my first HDTV and it was a plasma set.
To this day I still think the color on the old plasmas was better than the flat screens we watch today. But I got my plasma TV in late March. I christianed it with a Final Four and then I was blown away a week later by the detail of the Masters broadcast. I could see every blade of grass and every grain of sand. I’m surprised the box it came in didn’t say -Masters Made for HDTV.
Another beautiful Masters is in the books and it’s time for one more round of Masters Trivia on Craig Shemon and Company on ESPN Southwest Florida.
