Hi all,
firstly this is a rant of sorts so read on if you want i probably find this more stupid than others as i've worked in advertising for over a decade and hate some of the crap we're subjected to!!!
Anyone seen the latest advert on TV all morning which has been promoting a Samsung 40" 1080p lcd screen as HD ready rather than full HD... we as consumers are meant to put our trust in these shops to know and advise us and they don't even know the difference between HD ready and full HD
It's funny as the normal man on the street looking for a new TV probably has heard of HD but has no idea what the difference between 1080p/i or 720p is. But they even state it's 1080p - adverts should be in laymans terms on new technology. It's quite clear that their advertising department haven't quite got their heads around the technology either this is almost a public admission of them not having a clue
If you're going to employ monkeys and promote as monkeys then no wonder your sales are suffering
Rant over
addition: maybe i still have the hump with them over their attempts to sell me an upscaling dvd player rather than a high-def one - with the salesman insisting it was a HD one...
