Is Your New TV Really High Definition?
Filed in archive HDTV by william on March 21, 2005
The BBC has an interesting article that states:

"The UK is the largest display market in Europe," according to John Binks, director of GfK, which monitors global consumer markets.



But, he added: "Of all the flat panel screens sold, just 1.3% in the UK are capable of getting high-definition."



There are 74 different devices that are being sold as HD but are not HD-ready, according to alexander Oudendijk, senior vice president of marketing for satellite giant Astra.



They may be fantastic quality TVs, but many do not have adaptors in them - called DVI or HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connectors - which let the set handle the higher resolution digital images.
