Sony launches museum of of low res

Do you still own a standard TV and DVD or even a VHS? Well, if you do your place or at least your TV set should already belong in a Museum! At least according to Sony!The main Blu-ray backer launched the "Museum of Low Res" (MoLR), a consumer website which takes you on a virtual tour of the history of technology and the conception of Blu-ray Disc itself. The tongue-in-cheek website visually explains the Blu-ray disc format; from a giant TV sculpture demonstrating the resolution power of Blu-ray Disc, to a robotic arm sculpture highlighting its storage capacity.Is it worth the time to take a look at it? Yes, a bit of humor in this battle of the formats is a good thing. We tend to forget that the main goal of high definition movies is entertainment and fun. Sony brings that back a little with this site. At least for the European market since the site was launched by Sony-Europe.The image represent what Sony says is the first High definition TV that reached 1080! I always loved videowalls!
