Explore HD sources in our Blu-ray Player Review section.The truth is, reviewers relied heavily on DVD in those early days and had to extrapolate how they expected the TV would perform with true HD content. Anyone remember D-VHS and D-Theater movies? Being an early adopter sure wasn't cheap. Most of those early displays were HD-ready and had no internal tuner, so you had to buy an external tuner. I remember sitting in a room full of A/V techies in 1999 watching one of ABC's first Monday Night Football games in high-def. There were some over-the-air HD broadcasts. We took a fun trip down memory lane as we remembered the quest to obtain HD content. I even asked a few colleagues to dust off the brain cobwebs and try to remember what it was like to review the very first HD displays - before Blu-ray, before HD DVD, before cable and satellite packages loaded with HD channels. As I sit down to write my first review of an Ultra HD TV, I can't help but think back to the early days of high-definition.
