Is full HD is better or HD ready LCD?

Answer 1

"HD ready " says that the television can display an image from an HD signal, whether it is a 1080 or 720 line format. However, it makes no claims about the resolution of the screen itself. Some HD ready screens are as low as 480 line which is the number of lines in an NTSC (North American format) standard definition signal. The image quality will therefore be no better than SD even with an HD signal being delivered to it.

"Full HD" is less well defined. It normally means that the display has 1080 lines and it can show a 1080i image at its native resolution. Some people will say that full HD must allow 1080p signals to be shown at the native resolution and frame rate. Full HD can also mean that the screen is a 720 line display, or higher. As 720 line is a recognized HD format, a display that boasts 768 lines can legitimately be called full HD.

The only way to establish the type of display is to check the detailed specification. Ideally, the display will have a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and will handle 720p, 1080i and 1080p signals. Any other resolution will demand that the incoming image is resized from 1080 to some other format, so losing quality against the incoming 1080 signal.

The final check for a television is a visual one. Disregard all the specifications and watch the television while it shows the program material that you are likely to be watching. If the display looks good, then it's a good television. That's very subjective but the buyer is normally the person who will be watching it.

Answer 2

There are many descriptions of HD in use, some coined by viewers and many introduced by manufacturers and marketers trying to separate their products from the competition.

Full HD is not a term that defines a specific attribute. HD means any signal that is classified as high definition. That means: 720 line, 1080 line and 1035 line images. All are HD and all can be called "full HD".

When it comes to the televisions, "full HD" is often used to describe a television that has a native resolution of 1080 lines. They will display 1080i and 1080p signals without the need to scale the image to a different resolution. It can also describe a television that has an HD receiver built in avoiding the need for set top boxes.

"HD ready" might be used to describe a television that does not have HD receivers built in but will still handle HD signals on HDMI inputs. Televisions that have different screen resolutions might also use the term. There are many 768 line displays on sale. They will display any HD signal but the image will be scaled to fit the fewer number of lines of the display, so effectively reducing the resolution to that of the display.

To sum up, "HD", "HD ready" and "full HD" do not have specific meanings. Always make sure that you understand the capabilities and features of any television or player and don't allow yourself to be misled by manufacturers' ambiguous claims.

Answer 3

HD the resolution of HD Ready is often lower than FULL HD and the HD tuner is missing. The latter is not important if you are going to watch Sky because the SKY box replaces the tuner function. However if you want to watch Freeview in HD the HD tuner is needed.

Answer 4

HDMI and HD are different things.

HD is a standard for television display resolutions. The highest resolution available at present is 1080 lines by 1920 pixels.

HDMI is a cable interface used to connect sources such as cable and satellite receivers, DVD players and Bluray players to televisions. HDMI is designed to carry a range of signals that includes HD video, SD video, computer signals (RGB) as well as audio and other data. The interface is simply a device to transfer data from one point to another and does not affect the quality or resolution of the image in any way.

In modern HD equipment, HDMI is the only way to transfer HD signals from a source to a display so it is linked closely to HD video.

Answer 5

yes, HD ready means lower resolution than full HD. full HD is capable of 1080 pixels whereas HD ready is only capable of 720 pixels.

Answer 6

Full HD is twice as good as HD Ready.

HD Ready is only 720p resolution, which is 1366 x 768 pixels

Full HD is1080p, which equates to 1920x1080 pixels.

Answer 7

The term 'Full HD' usually means video with 1920x1080 resolution. HD can mean Full HD or 'semi-HD', which is 1280x720 resolution video. Either way, Full HD is either equal or better than HD.
