What technology is the TV based on? Tube- The most common technology. Today there are several types of picture tubes, among others flat tubes that give a very sharp and flicker free picture. The main disadvantage with tube technology is that most tubes are fairly cumbersome, so these types of TVs generally take up quite a bit of space.Projection-TV - Instead of one picture tube these TVs have three. A red, a blue and a green cathode ray tube. The advantage is that you can easily project to a large surface area without too much loss of quality. A disadvantage is that it is still very expensive to buy.Plasma - Incredibly thin and lightweight, Plasma TVs are capable of being mounted on your wall like a painting. Unfortunately they are still very expensive.LCD - LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Displays. It is a flat panel technology which uses liquid crystals sandwiched between two glass plates. Can be even thinner than plasma screens and has a better viewing angle.

Filtering on 1080p will show all HD-Ready TVs with a minimum resolution of 1920x1080. This means that the TV can not only receive but also show the content of the highest consumer HDTV resolution. The expression "Full HD" is not an standard given by any organization, its just an expression set by the business itself to distinguish the different HD resolutions for different TV models. The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, while the letter "p" stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. 1080p is considered as true or full HDTV video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal (display) resolution of 1920 dots across and a frame resolution of 1920 × 1080 or exactly 2,073,600 pixels.

High Definition TV (HDTV) means that a TV can broadcast signals of at least 720p or 1080i via any of the TVs inputs, usually the component-input. “HD-ready” is a license that can be executed by EICTA if the TV also can meet the following requirements: 1. HD-reception both via analogue input and DVI or HDMI. 2. The DVI or HDMI input (digital inputs) must have support for HDCP. 3. The HD capable inputs must be able to transmit the formats 1280x720 at 50 and 60Hz progressive (720p) and 1920x1080 at 50 and 60Hz interlaced (1080i).

Picture size is measured in inches. An inch is 2.54 cm. The size of the screen is measured diagonally from corner to corner.

The picture format of the TV. 4:3 - The standard picture format is 4:3 - which is the relation between the width and height of the TV screen. This is the almost square picture format that has been prevalent in the home since TV was first invented. Widescreen - Otherwise known as 16:9. Just like the standard format it also indicates the relation between the breadth and height of the TV screen. Widescreen is a format more adapted to the human field of vision, and a better format for viewing cinema films.

A digital TV tuner built into a HD Ready TV is not necessarily able to transmit HD signals. The tuner itself needs to be HDTV labeled. To be certain, contact the retailer or manufacturer.

A television with progressive scanning can generate a picture in a single pass, in a similar way to a computer screen. A standard television uses an interlacing format, alternating lines 50 times a second, creating a full image 25 times a second. Through progressive scanning the television scans all the lines on the television in succession, and does a full screen with all lines 50 times a second, resulting in double the frame rate and higher picture quality.

Shows if a Stand/Cabinet is included with the TV. This specification can be different from country to country. So please check with retailer to be sure.
