Great Horror Movies in High Definition from DirecTV

If you aren’t old enough to remember the days when you had to go to the theater to see a great horror flick, then you really did miss out on a great thing. One thing about horror flicks, is that they really aren’t subtle and the bigger the better rule, really does apply to them.

Drive in theaters, have gone the way of the dinosaur and it is too bad, because they were a great place to see a horror flick. One thing that high definition programming from DirecTV has done, is to rescue the horror flick and bring it back to the glory that it deserves.

Horror movies are best viewed on a big screen TV, while sitting as close to it as possible. The high definition big screened TV is perfect for this, because you can sit right up next to it and the picture is perfectly clear. In the past a big screened TV, with standard definition programming on it, needed a big room to play in, because the picture was fuzzy and undefined if you sat too close to it.

A TV screen has only so many vertical lines of resolution and pixels in it and the bigger the screen is, the more spread out and far apart they are. The result on a standard definition big screened TV is not good. The high resolution TV has over twice the amount of vertical lines of resolution and pixels in it, so the picture is just fine, even from just a few feet away.

Digitized surround sound, with Dolby noise reduction feature, is another big difference that you get with DirecTV high definition programming. Great sound effects only enhance the total character of a great horror flick and the difference between standard TV audio and high definition audio effects is immense.

One thing that theaters have always had in their arsenal is a great surround sound system that reproduced sound effects that you could actually feel when you watched a movie. With high definition programming from DirecTV, you can have the same effect right in your own home.

You can listen to it right out of your TV set, or you can run it through your stereo system for maximum effect if you choose. Either way you will soon grow to appreciate the importance of top quality sound effects in a great horror flick.

Have you been down to an electronics retailer to check out the prices on high definition TV sets lately? You might be surprised to see how much they have fallen in recent years. Remember how you chocked when you saw the price tags on big plasma screened TVs when they first came out?

Well, those days are long gone and you can now get a great name brand high definition plasma screened TV for hundreds, instead of thousands of dollars. High definition TV programming isn’t for everyone and you may be one of those people that are perfectly content to watch TV in standard definition and that’s OK. If you are one of those people who want more out of their TV viewing time, then high definition TV programming from DirecTV might be just what you are looking for.
