To think I've lived on this earth for 26 years viewing it in Standard Definition...Cursed eyeballs, how they have forsaken me. No longer, today marks my jump to Hi-Def eyeballs, see you later SD suckers!

Seriously though...Really? I mean for real? Wow...People will buy anything won't they.

I'm gonna look into HD mirrors...See your true self in High Definition...Obviously for us beautiful people...riiiiight.

Eyemasters markets their best EV4.0 (Eagle Vision) lenses as High Definition. Technically, you do see better than with conventional polycarbonate lenses. It has nothing to do with glare blocking, however.

I was pretty amused watching it but I was thinking "amusing, but not really that funny". I should have seen the "not".

SneakerFiend — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:17:19 EDT

@TheCyberBob: LMAO! True
There's no way that you could get HD picture through glasses. You'd need to have needles going into your eyes or your brain amplifying your vision.
This is so stupid i didnt even finish watching it because even though those $100 sunglasses let light in they look way better and i dont pay $100 for sunglasses i go into the 300's and 400's
but maybe the new yorker lifestyle has molded me to think like that lolx.

bilups — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:04:00 EDT

The human eye can can resolve something like 560 megapixels of image data. Though interestingly enough, our brains interpret this such that it's somewhat hard for us to tell the difference between 150dpi and 300dpi when printed out. So really, what's the point of our eyes being able to take in so much image data? My guess is redundancy.

Also, I have an idea for glasses - call them SD glasses. Basically, they're two opaque lenses with a small square cut out in the center. Now you can see what it's like to view the world as a standard CRT! ...or something.

If they are real I want a pair, no, I want 2 pairs. I'm not even joking, certain colors make me feel like I'm going to puke, which probably has something to do with my sudden development of floaters and snow vision in my one eye (looks kinda like TV static).

People really believe this crap. I'm former optical industry employee and lived through various craptastic marketing campaigns like this. When Blue Blocker lenses came out, every idiot in the world wanted them. Then there are the people who think that stuff (can't remember the name) they wipe on their lenses can get RID of scratches (bullshi*). Then there was some stupid golf glasses. My god, golfers are the worst. They'll buy a can of dog shit if they thought huffing it would make there drive a little longer!

Hehehe; we've had a similar ad for a while from New Look glasses here.

The most ridiculous ad for HDTVs I've seen actually tried to "show" how good a HDTV looks like...

I don't think I need to point out what the issue here is.

And if I AM able to see the difference, it can only be because I have an even better TV, so what's the point?
