The more days, the more types of televisions on the market. The many types of television in circulation also bring a variety of new terms that are quite foreign to our ears. Terms such as LCD, LED, Plasma, HDTV, Smart TV, and others often make us confused when wanting to buy a TV. One type of television that became a prima donna today is high definition television or commonly abbreviated as HDTV. Well, the problem now is the types of television that is in the HDTV category.
As we often see, many television vendors who include the label "Full HD" or "HD Ready" on television products. Similar terms but not the same is certainly causing confusion for prospective buyers. Then what is the difference between Full HD TV and HD Ready TV? Check out the following reviews.
""HD Ready in the United States""
In the United States, the term HD ready is used to refer to monitors that have the ability to display high definition images (720p, 1080i or 1080p). This term applies only to monitors that do not have HD Tuner only, so it can be used for computers or other purposes. That way, a television that has the ability to display HD images will not be called HD Ready in America
""HD Ready in Europe""
The term HD Ready used in Europe is different from a similar term used in America. In 2005, an industry association named EICTA aka DIGITALEUROPE created a standard for the HD Ready term. A television that wants to be labeled as HD Ready must have 720p resolution and be able to receive input from HDMI or DVI that has protection (HDCP). In addition, there is also a standard called HD Ready 1080p. To have this standard, a television must have a resolution of 1920 x 1080. The television must also have the ability to display videos of 1080p and 1080i without * overscan * and distortion.
Full HD The term Full HD is commonly used in television marketing terms in different parts of the world. Of course this term is not a standard created by a particular government or organization. Full HD is usually used as a synonym of 1080p, which means the television is capable of displaying full high definition video. Television 1080p itself has a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Because the term Full HD itself is just a term in the world of commerce, then the term does not at all show the difference in quality on 1080p television. It could be a television that is labeled Full HD was not able to do 1-to-1 pixel mapping or can not display perfectly a 1080p quality video. Therefore you should really look at the specifications of a television and do not just fixate on the Full HD label it has
""Conclusion""
Once you know the difference between the terms "HD Ready" and "Full HD", now let's continue to answer a pretty important question. Should we buy a Full HD TV? The answer to that question depends on your needs. The most important thing you should know is that the television labeled HD Ready (720p) has a smaller number of pixels than the television labeled Full HD (1080p). Both terms refer only to the resolution with no connection whatsoever to the image quality, color accuracy, brightness, and other things that have a significant effect on image quality. Television with 1080p resolution will probably have a sharper image than 720p television.
The difference will be more obvious if the television has a large size or if we watch it from a certain distance. You will see a clear difference between the two when you see a 51 "television from a distance of 2 meters. But if you look at it from a distance of 3 meters up, then the difference may not be seen. Therefore, you should really pay attention to a television specification before purchasing it without the need to be fooled by the term HD Ready or Full HD
