Things get confusing when you look at the specifications of an HD Ready and full HD. First of all, we must check, the television is able to handle a High Definition signal of 1080 lines of information across the screen. In the U.S., HD Ready for a TV means that the TV can output 720p images and has a built-in digital tuner. HD Ready TVs and set-top boxes can show you 720p images at 1280×720 pixels. Full HD TVs and set-top boxes show 1080p images at 1920×1080 pixels. The higher the resolution, the sharper the images look.
Here’s a rough summary (and techies, I know I’m oversimplifying, but it’s to keep it simple):
- Standard TV – in the UK it usually has 576 horizontal lines.
- HD Ready – has a minimum 720 horizontal lines.
- Full HD – has a minimum 1080 horizontal lines.
The higher the number of lines, the greater the density of the screen, so the higher the definition.
What we consider before buying Tv:
- Don’t buy a TV with less than a 120 Hz refresh rate.
- Look for an HDR-compatible set, which offers more realistic colors and better contrast.
- Ignore contrast-ratio specs: manufacturers fudge the numbers. Trust your own eyes.
- Curved TVs are a fashion statement. They don’t benefit image quality.
- Look for at least four HDMI ports; 4K shoppers should ask about HDCP compatibility.
- Most TVs are “smart TVs” these days with easy access to Netflix and other online apps. Don’t be tricked into thinking this is a big deal.
- OLED TVs look much better than a typical LED LCD, but they are considerably more expensive.
- Plan to buy a soundbar. TV speakers are worse nowadays because the screens are thinner.
- Avoid extended warranties. Your credit card company may already provide purchase protection.
