It seems we've come to an age where standard definition...really isn't the standard definition anymore, with the average television most likely being high definition. At this time, it's almost expected that everyone will have an HD television or matter, disregarding whatever income household they live in. You'll find these things in the most unexpected places.
The more years I play video games on my Xbox, the smaller and smaller the font seems to get in games. Within the past few days, I finally got the monitor replaced, and while I never really noticed the difference on television in quality, let me tell you, it is noticeable on Xbox.
For example, Battlefield is often praised for it's high-quality graphics; I didn't think they were particularly special on my 480p screen, even after the HD texture pack was installed. All those little tiny details in the ground went totally unnoticed to me, and now it seems like it's just assumed that everybody has to have high definition monitors.
In another venture, Skyrim turned out fine on my original screen, but I noticed a few problems involving ludicrously small letters; the last game release season in particular seemed to be comprised of mostly games with unreadable text. After the magic change of monitors, the entire game got...bigger. Although it can be somewhat attributed to converting to widescreen, I CAN ACTUALLY READ NOW.
Makes finding those it's vs its grammatical errors in Mace Etiquette SO much easier.
