\"\"In the past, I’ve been saddened by how the Church has lagged in the technology department.\u00a0 Understandably, technology is normally very expensive and it is sacred tithing they spend, so I’ve never complained about it.\u00a0 A few years ago, when they finally started posting conference as video files, I was very pleased.\u00a0 It wasn’t anything new or especially impressive, but it was a step in the right direction.\u00a0 This year, though, I was impressed.\u00a0 The new video streamer we used to watch conference this year was fantastic.\u00a0 Not only was it very responsive (we were able to watch conference without missing large chunks because of insufficient bandwith on their part, as in years past), but the fidelity of the video was unbelievable.\u00a0 I didn’t do any tests (I was trying to pay attention to the speakers), but the quality definitely looked HD to me.\u00a0 Full-screened on my HDTV, the quality was better than most DVDs.\u00a0 More than once, I got up from the couch and stared at my TV only inches away to see how clear the picture was.\u00a0 As an added nicety, http:\/\/lds.org<\/a> broadcast conference in widescreen!\u00a0 (Strangely, http:\/\/www.byu.tv<\/a> did not.)\u00a0 Forgive me for being so excited about this… after spending a lot on a TV, it is nice when I get to use the HD-ness of it.\u00a0 Did anyone else who watched conference online notice how good it looked?<\/p>\n

The talks were all very good.\u00a0 I especially liked Pres. Uchtdorf’s talk in the Priesthood Session.\u00a0 What great counsel we received over the last 36 hours!<\/p>\n

–Edit–<\/p>\n

Okay, so it wasn’t HD.\u00a0 It was 640×360, which is technically not high-def; but in all honesty, online conference never looked better.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
