Welcome to Download Monkey. News, reviews, forums - in fact everything you need to know about bananas video on demand.

FINALLY some science to make sense of what we're all seeing in HD

Come on. We've all seen it. You know it's true

With more HD around - from Blu ray, Sky, Virgin, Apple - we're all starting to watch more and more HD shows and movies 0 on DVD, cable or dish TV and downloaded.

But that fact is that all HD is not created equal.

To these eyes, the quality of HD sources we've used runs to a list that looks something like this:

1. Blu ray DVD
2. Sky+HD
3. Virgin
4. Apple
5. Xbox Live

Bitrate seems to be the key here and the team over at Gizmodo have had a good look around and written a solid piece all about it.

It's well worth a read if you are in the least bit interested in why your HD mileage seems to vary...
