<description><![CDATA[ A new study says that people who are getting high-definition TV gear need to <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1116683/Poor-eyesight-makes-HDTV-waste-money.html" target="_new">get an eye exam, too,</a> so they can be certain they're getting the maximum benefit out of their new equipment. The recommendation comes from a study commissioned by -- wait for it -- a chain of opticians, which in no way calls into question the veracity of their argument. A spokesman for the chain says that even a tiny bit of shortsightedness can effect the quality of the picture a person sees. That's probably true, but won't the HD picture still look much better than the SD image regardless?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090115/1200283424.shtml">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090115/1200283424.shtml#comments">Comments</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090115/1200283424.shtml?op=sharethis">Email This Story</a><br />
