Im checking the scenes in a lot of my sites. Reality Kings, Naughty America, and even Brazzers didnt even move to true HD until late 2010- early 2011. Even though TV's been doing it since 2006 and even earlier on some stations like Discovery. Anyone know any older sites that had HD, so I can check out girls that retired pre hd era.

Stuff on brazzers and RK from like 2007 is unwatchable looks like they shot on the worst possible camera.

I don't know if this is accurate, but for an online site, moving to HD means they need more storage, servers, etc- and, possibly, new equipment. Not only that, but downloading HD takes longer for customers. There couldn't have been much impetus to make the move till it started to become expected by customers- and, as long as your major competitors weren't switching yet either- it was unlikely to damage your revenue.
Then again, this is all just speculation, but it seems fairly reasonable.

^Also from the customer side, HD larger filesize means customer will need bigger hard drives and faster internet speed and more powerful computer.

Tell me about it. My heart sinks when I excitedly look for some older scenes by some of my favourites and find they are in this utterly unwatchable resolution. To think this used to be the standard. On the subject, I cannot for for the life of me understand why, when all other top companies are dealing in HD as standard, that New Sensations are still stick in the DVD era of video quality, it just baffles me. It's only by virtue of the sexiness of the girls I'm interested in that I can get through the scenes quality.

I don't know about the rest of you but I dread the day porn is all HD because when the resolution was lower than pimples, skin blemishes, razor burns, bumps & bruises and any other skin issues where almost invisible but now it's almost impossible to miss and in my case it's actually impossible. I can't overlook all these different skin conditions and therefore some pretty good scenes wind up being unwatchable because my eyes keep getting puller toward what should not be visible, I'm sure the proper application of makeup could fix most of these things but I guess no one really cares to make the girls look as appealing as could be.

Agreed, I prefer porn that is non hd since the things you brought up. with HD it's impossible to hide any blemishes, stretch mars etc.

I prefer to see the features of a woman's body how they actually would appear in real life, not some blurry, pixelated version of them.

Yeah its sad that I can't watch a lot of my favorites.Premium hdv has some from that era but not a lot. We need major companies like Brazzers to get on board with this.
