Are all Plasma TV's HD?
Although most newer Plasma Televisions are HDTVs, many older Plasma sets are not. In order for a TV to be classified as an HDTV, or HDTV-ready, the television must be able to display at least 1280x720 pixels. Some of those "budget" Plasma televisions priced at $1,000 or less, that are "selling like hotcakes" only display 852x480 or 1024x768 pixels. The images on these sets look great, especially for DVDs and standard digital cable, but it is not true HDTV. Although if you have a typical HDTV input format of 1080i needs a native display of 1920x1080 pixels for a one-to-one point display of the HDTV image. So HD capability is not limited to 1280x720. Capability is from that range and higher to insure the purest quality of HD.

What is the difference between hdtv and hdtv monitor?
HDTV is a new format for displaying a TV picture. It has higher resolution and clarity than the old NTSC format. Most stations that are broadcasting digital signals are now using 4 channels for every 1 they had before. They are reserving some channels for HDTV format and some channels for NTSC format. An HDTV will display the HDTV format and probably the NTSC format as well. An HDTV monitor can display the same picture, but probably lacks a tuner to actually receive the television signals. You need to plug something into it like a computer, a DVD player, or a tuner. If that thing sends out an HDTV signal then you can see it on the monitor.
Why does your HDTV display no red?
Plug in your red video cable. It has probably worked out of the connector either at the TV end or at the box.
Is there a difference between HDTV and HDTV Integrated in 2007?
HDTV integrated is probably just marketing talk (written on the box) for HDTV. It means the same thing. HDTV is a new format that has higher resolution, higher clarity, and is all digital. TV stations in the USA are broadcasting digitally in HDTV format, or changing over by 2009. They are not required to stick to that format when they send digital signals, but if you get an HDTV you will probably be set up to receive most broadcast stations for a long time, as some stations will be reserved for that format. Also, your TV will probably still display other formats. For example, some channels are broadcasted digitally but still in the old NTSC format that old TVs display.
Starting from an HDTV cable box using a split cable going to the pip output can you connect another tv to the pip output and get an HDTV picture on the other tv?
Hi, It really depends on your PIP output on the cable box and whether or not the output is HDTV or standard TV. And in some cases, the PIP output will only display non-HDTV channels, depending again, on the box and the cable company. However, IF the cable company says that a HDTV signal is available from the PIP output on the cable box, then it'll probably work. The only way to be sure is to connect a TV and find out. Hope this helps, Cubby
How do you convert from 480i to 1080i on a tv?
You can't covert from one standard to the other. If the HDTV is a 1080 type, it will display that signal when present and display a 720 when it is present. A 720 HDTV will never display a 1080 resolution picture, it will show the picture in 720 resolution.
Why would you recommend a plasma hdtv over an lcd hdtv?
Plasma TVs have excellent contrast and can produce deeper blacks than LCD TVs. Additionally, plasma TVs display more natural colors. They also have a wider viewing angle than LCD TVs.
Some tv descriptions say LCD HDTV and some just say LCD are all LCD TVs HDTV?
No, but the answer can be complicated.The LCD panel which is the main display component inside a LCD TV can be made in many different sizes -total overall size-, shapes -differences of length and height ie square or rectangle- as well as resolutions -the amount of detail the panel can display, typically called pixel resolution-. The term "HDTV" has no legal or official definition, but a few common standards are agreed upon as set by manufacturers, advertisers, broadcast standards and the public, although there can be disputes about the specifics.Generally a display is not considered an HDTV unless it has a resolution of at least 1280 length pixels by 720 height pixels, a standard referred to as 720p. There is also another common HDTV resolution known as 1080i or 1080p which has a larger pixel area of 1920 length by 1080 height pixels. Some argue a TV can not be called a HDTV unless it can display both native, however most manufacturers will label a LCD that can only display 720p as a HDTV, and often include circuitry inside the TV to convert or squish the image down to fit.Also a display needs to be able to display a image shape that is 16 units wide by 9 units tall, or a 16:9 aspect ratio. The LCD panel can be of many different shapes, but it must be able to display a picture of that ratio. In some cases the LCD panel has an aspect ratio that is larger than 16:9, like 20:10, or smaller than 16:9, like 4:3. In this instances the TV needs circuitry inside that will either turn off the extra area, or expand or reshape the image to fit the 16:9 area of a HDTV picture. Some will argue that a TV is not a true HDTV unless it can display the picture without alteration. Many HDTV have special modes so they can display old SDTV (standard definition) signals using the same conversion circuitry.Finally, many groups argue a LCD TV can not be marketed as a HDTV unless it has a DTV capable tuner inside of it. Since the invention of the television, the set has always included a tuner inside, often called the channel changer, that can receive the TV signal and allow you to adjust the channel or frequency you receive and display on the screen. When the initial digital based televisions or DTV capable display were first introduced, a digital tuner was not yet standardized so they either contained an old analog tuner or no tuner at all. Without a tuner, the display needs an outside means of receiving signals, say for example a cable box, or satellite box, or a DTV STB which stands for a digital set top box that can receive the new DTV signals which carry HDTV programs.To summarize, a LCD screen can be made to display images below the HDTV standard, and it may not include a digital tuner that can receive digital television without an additional set top box. Most will argue that a LCD TV must be able to do both to be labeled a HDTV LCD. A specific LCD TV should define its pixel resolution and whether it contains a digital tuner which will determine its accurate definition.
