HD, TV, Monitor

[Juice Daddy]

A friend of mine asked me to find out about some differences in TV's...

I didn't know all the details... sooo....

Whats the difference when a TV says HD, and a TV that says HD Ready?

and... whats the difference between an HD Monitor and an HD TV?

hmmm... no responces ey...

oh well

here's what I found:

HD-ready:
Describes a television that is capable of displaying one or both of the prescribed high-definition television formats (720p, 1080i) but is not equipped with the requisite tuner/converter to receive digital signals.

HDTV (High Definition Television):
A complete product/system with the following minimum performance attributes:
Receiver – Receives ATSC terrestrial digital transmissions and decodes all ATSC Table 3 video formats
Display Scanning Format – Digital transmission; has active vertical scanning lines of 720 progressive (720p), 1080 interlaced (1080i), or higher
Aspect Ratio – Capable of displaying a 16:9 image (also called "widescreen," similar to what you see at a movie theater)
In simple terms, HDTV is about 5x better than conventional TV.

High Definition Monitor:
A television that only displays images from source; requires a separate tuner to show HDTV
