HD is the term used to describe video formats that are higher resolution than standard definition. The formats include those with line counts of 720, 1035 and 1080
1080 is a reference to the number of lines used to create the image. Any video format that uses 1080 lines is HD although not all HD uses 1080 lines.
There are several formats that use 1080 lines and normally they are described as 1080i or 1080p, depending on how the image is generated. 1080p normally refers to an image with a full frame refresh rate of either 50 or 59.94Hz, twice that of 1080i.

How do you change 480 to 1080?
480 refers to standard definition television signals in North America and it the number of lines that make up the image. (In Europe, 576 lines is the standard definition resolution). 1080 is the number of lines that make up a high definition television signal (720 is another high definition format although less commonly used). Up converters are used to allow 480 signals to be used on 1080 displays or to mix them into other 1080 content during production. The up converter takes a 480 line image and outputs the same image at 1080 lines. They are sometimes used in DVD players and other source equipment to allow standard definition material to share the same format as HD material. SD DVD players that have the feature will normally boast of a 1080 output or HD output. Do not be fooled: SD material that has been up converted will be in HD format but it is absolutely NOT HD quality. The amount of information in and SD signal is about 20% of a true HD signal. Up converting cannot add the extra detail so do not expect up converted material to look like HD.

Which passive 3D TVs are full HD 1080p?
Passive 3D televisions are normally 1080 line. However, the image is split into left and right images so the effective resolution becomes half the full HD resolution, namely 540 line. So although they can claim to be full HD, they have a total of 1080 lines, the viewer sees only half the full resolution.
What is the difference between a true HD TV and an HD ready TV?
Many LCD and plasma televisions are labelled as HD ready. What it means is that the television will display an HD signal but the image may not be HD quality. All LCD and plasma televisions have a native pixel count. Many are 768 lines for example. In order to display an HS signal, the HD format of 1080 line or 720 line needs to be changed to fit the screen. While the loss of resolution from 1080 to 768 lines isn't particularly significant, there is still a loss of quality. There have been LCD televisions sold as HD ready despite the fact that they only have 480 lines. Although the HD signal will be displayed, it is less than half the number of lines of 1080. As 480 line is the standard definition NTSC format, the quality can only ever be SD quality. It is generally accepted that a true HD television will have 1080 lines (or sometimes, 720 lines). When displaying a 1080 image on a 1080 screen, there is no loss of quality but if the size needs to be changed, the conversion process always has an adverse effect on the image, even if very slight. Beware - some retailers will suggest that a television is true HD even though it does not have a 1920 x 1080 pixel format. ALWAYS ask to see the specification before committing to spending a lot of money. If the retailer cannot or will not tell you the native resolution of a display, walk away and find another retailer. And a different answer, I think the HD ready set does not have a built-in tuner and needs to be connected to a cable or satellite converter box. The HDTV is a complete television set with a built-in tuner.
