HD is nothing but media. When someone processes the image just to show what HD can do, you get dreck. Once we finally get past that adolescent "Wow!" stage it will perhaps become just another good tool. Today most of what you see in HD is made to look more beautiful than life.

go to theaters, anymore? Trust me, HD & B-R D are very, very close wherein the "regular" isn't even close. First off, we'd have to agree that the goal is to imitate as closely as possible the film experience.

  Given the tools we have today, any originally gray-scale B&W film can be "enhanced", pulling its dynamic range wider. I think I saw one film like that, with the degree of contrast that struck me as outside the typical film realm.
  
  One might say the films used in the forties and fifties were deficient in their ability to preset the real scale... hence we should try to "improve" them. Here we have the ghost of colorization raising its head.
