Very interested in response here.

First, "HD" is just a nice buzzword.
In reality, most sites can support true HD. Our own software supports it really well. The limiting factor isn't software or servers, its poor quality cameras used by models and / or slow computers used by models and / or low speed low quality Bandwidth that the models have access to.
It's also bad lighting: Models who chat in low light force the camera's software to compensate by slowing down the shutter or using some software tricks to lighten the image. This is already tough because a webcam's iris is tiny to begin with. The result is a lower resolution image with bad color, motion blur, and other unwanted artifacts & noise.
Cam models can improve everything by doing the following:
- Use a camcorder with a wide aperture and good lens
- Use a video capture card
- Use a fast, modern desktop computer. (Laptops reduce CPU speed to save battery life, which hurts video quality)
- Use some good lighting. Make your room nice and bright.
- While you're at it, invest in a decent microphone.
- While you're at it #2, Turn off your music, look into the camera and pay attention to your customer.
Sheese!
