All HD telelvisions should be able to display all HD formats. Many HD telelvisions use 768 lines as their native format although an increasing number are now 1080 line. Far fewer have 720 lines as their native format. In any case where the incoming signal is different to the native resolution of the television, a device known as a "scaler" or "converter" will reformat the signal to fit the resolution of the television. Scalers are complicated devices and always introduce small errors in the signal. Therefore, if you are choosing an HD television, try to select one that has a native resolution the same as the format you are most likely to be watching - Broadcasters choose between 720 and 1080 depending on program content among other things. If you are a movie fan, with most movies being shown in 1080, then a 1080 television should be your preferred choice.
