Forget Fox' puny efforts (480p, near mono sound, 4:3 aspect ratio) and the others, nothing beats ABC's widescreen, true hi-def, 5.1 surround, Monday Night Football. Absolutely stunning picture. Incredible sound. And John Madden to boot!

If you want to demo what true hi-def is all about, this is it.

Put the beer on ice and invite the friends over. This is as good as it gets.
