its a bit of a minefield. slightly off the Op topic, but may be useful for others
I have a Hitachi 42pd5200. now it doesn't have the HDReady badge, but
DOES output in 1080i therefore does output in HD It wont do 720p in 50hz, but will in 60. Also, doesn't have HDMI, but does have DVI
some do give HD output, but just because they dont necessarily have the badge it isn't always the case.
see my original post. more info below
Requirements for the label HD ready???
A display device has to cover the following requirements to be awarded the label HD ready???:
1. Display, display engine
· The minimum native resolution of the display (e.g. LCD, PDP) or display
engine (e.g. DLP) is 720 physical lines in wide aspect ratio.
2. Video Interfaces
· The display device accepts HD input via:
o Analogue YPbPr*, and
o DVI or HDMI
· HD capable inputs accept the following HD video formats:
o 1280x720 @ 50 and 60Hz progressive (720p???), and
o 1920x1080 @ 50 and 60Hz interlaced (1080i???)
· The DVI or HDMI input supports content protection (HDCP)
BUT as long as the first criteria is met it will display a HD image but not get a HD READY badge.
