When I was back in Holland during Christmas, I had free time to watch television again. It was freezing outside so it was nice and warm inside; time to make a cup of tea, eat a cookie and cover myself into blankets and watch a good TV show.

What I especially enjoyed was the sound quality. Vietnamese TV channels broadcast sound in mono quality. The sound is of such a low quality that it is hard for me to listen to it. This is because the music is very distorted and therefore the songs sound very different from the actual songs. Take for example Idols. I was at the show when Thanh Bui sang U&I and the sound there was great. After his performance Thanh Bui and I went backstage and we looked at the footage. The picture and sound looked awesome. A few days later this was broadcasted on TV and the picture and sound was terrible. This takes away so much of the fun and experience that It spoils my watching experience a lot.

So, when I was back in Holland and watched some TV again, I was amazed by the quality. I kinda forgot how good it can be. Everything is broadcasted in HD and the sound is just awesome. Most programs have surround sound and it is just a whole new way of experiencing entertainment and media. There is nothing more frustrating for a music composer to hear your song over the TV speakers in Vietnam and the whole song sounds like crap because it is all mono and distorted. You just want to give the best to the listeners and want them to hear and experience the song the way it was composed.
Hopefully, the Vietnamese broadcasting in Vietnam will take a leap towards HD television soon. Only then, the TV programs, movies and music will be broadcasted like it is meant to be. Bye bye.
