Network HDTV Quality Tested

[Neilium]

Oddly enough the Feeds were taken from Milwaukee.

The State of the Union address last night was a snoozer, but we HDTV gearheads had fun jumping between the networks, checking out which net was able to deliver the best HDTV signal from lens to screen. This was a notable occasion, because all the networks were using precisely the same feed—the same cameras, same everything—where the only difference was between the Capitol pool feed and the viewer.

We took an HD gander at NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and HDNet, to see who delivered the crispiest, most colorful and most gorgeous HDTV signal of all.

For our eyeball test, we looked at a typical array of HDTV stations on our Samsung 1080p reference monitor, delivered via Time Warner Cable in the medium market of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sure, some of the differences might be in the local transmitters, but this is a pretty good representative sample of HDTV content delivery in the US circa early 2007. We took some pictures, all at the same F-stop and shutter speed, and along with those are a few value judgments.
