wof puzzle board displays in HD?

[bradhig]

Are the monitors on the Wheel of Fortune puzzle board HD displays or are they analog displays?  I notice a reflection off some of the bottom displays suggesting they are not LCD displays but I was lead to believe they put HD displays in when the gold border was replaced by the lighted blue border.

I'm probably mistaken in my belief, but you do understand that a TV doesn't have to be LCD to be HD, right?

I thought it had to be LCD or plasma.

No.

Nor is something as minor as a reflection going to tell you one single solitary thing about the display technology.

They switched to flat panels, I believe in 2007, the same time they upgraded the contestant podiums as well.

I thought they put in flat panels but I wasn't sure.

I know, it's hard to tell the difference until you see the board close up.

Given what each of those monitors shows, and given the distance they're normally seen from, what would be the *point* of HD?

I don't know about you, but I just can't look at the letter Q in standard def anymore.

I think they should be 3D HDTV monitors.  I want to feel like I can reach out and grab those letters.

As opposed to the hostess... there's nothing to grab there.

\As I type this, John O'Hurly is asking feuders to name a reason you might want Vanna White's job.  Eerie.
