Hi
Just to give my two penneth.....
Without giving the whole EICTA guidelines.....
Just remember that essentially it boils down that to be classified as HDTV, a set must be capable of displaying a 720p image without downscaling via analogue and digital connections (these must be HDCP compliant)
I don't think it's fair to claim that this was done to allow manufacturers of plasma to squeeze under the wire, It's actually a good common sense compromise, what would be the point of demanding higher spec's at the moment when there is such a paulcity of content and screens at higher resolutions?
The only bit of alteration to the guidelines was done specifically for philips (a bit dodgy IMHO) which allowed their TV's to use an adaptor so that they could accept analogue and digital, over the same connector.
Good work though chaps, we have to keep pointing these things out, the whole issue is confusing enough for the average punter as it is.
....I've been shouted out of LOTS of tech orientated shops......
