HD-Ready

Is a HD-Ready Tv still a HD-TV?

Also, is the resolution the same on all HD-TV's? I ask because we're finally get one at the weekend.

HD ready means there is no built-in OTA HD tuner. HD sets are available with different maximum resolutions, 1080P being the highest.

Requirements for the “HD ready” logo
A display device has to cover the following requirements to be awarded the logo “HD ready”:

Display, display engine
The minimum native resolution of the display (e.g. LCD, PDP) or display engine (e.g. DLP) is 720 physical lines in wide aspect ratio.

Video Interfaces
The display device accepts HD input via:
- *Analogue YPbPr*, and
- DVI or HDMI

HD capable inputs accept the following HD video formats:
- 1280x720 @ 50 and 60Hz progressive (“720p”), and
- 1920x1080 @ 50 and 60Hz interlaced (“1080i”)

The DVI or HDMI input supports content protection (HDCP)

* “HD ready” display devices support analogue YPbPr (component) as a HD input format to allow full compatibility with today's HD video sources in the market. Support of the YPbPr signal should be through common industry standard connectors directly on the “HD ready” display device or through an adaptor easily accessible to the consumer.


It may have an HD tuner or not.

OTA = Over The Air. Channels you get with just a roof-top antenna.
