Get the hd retina display mug.A state of shock occuring for the first few days after finally owning an HD TV and now seeing shows in High Definition.
The shock is caused due to the fact you now realize how crappy the same shows look without HD and you almost wish you bougth the HD TV earlier.

Watching the game on a T.V with 480i, then now viewing it in 1080i ... this will certainly cause the temporary HD Shock
