Comments on: CNBC HD to use extra screen space http://www.lostremote.com/2007/09/17/cnbc-hd-to-use-extra-screen-space/ Where TV Finds the Future Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:17:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Mike Escutia http://www.lostremote.com/2007/09/17/cnbc-hd-to-use-extra-screen-space/#comment-494861 Mike Escutia Tue, 18 Sep 2007 15:34:31 +0000 http://www.lostremote.com/2007/09/17/cnbc-hd-to-use-extra-screen-space/#comment-494861 John: "Fine if you have a 16×9 set, but what about the majority of people still viewing on a 4×3 set? One side will cut off part of the anchor’s face and you will see part of the data on the other." My understanding is that CNBC HD+ is a separate feed from the standard-definition CNBC. So you shouldn't see anything like that -- unless, of course, you somehow happen to have a 4x3 HD TV.

ABC News did a similar format for the last national election. Fine if you have a 16x9 set, but what about the majority of people still viewing on a 4x3 set?

I read somewhere a post in which a person asked why they would want CNBC-HD. In addition to this added content, don't forget the Olympics are coming up and many events will be carried on CNBC as well. My guess is that's why there is a push to get this launched soon.
