If the name rings a bell, that’s because the distributor was rumbled a couple of weeks ago for mislabelling HD-Ready Telefunken and JVC TVs as Full HD devices. Full-HD packs in the deficit with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 for a sharper result to the trained eye.Īccording to TV distributor Nu-World Industries however, most people can’t see that difference.
The difference between the two? HD-Ready maxed out out at resolution of 1280 x 720p or 1366 x 768, which is high definition but not the highest definition around. While most TVs were sold as “Full-HD”, cheaper options were “HD-Ready”. There’s always been a caveat to all of this however. Flatscreens were a gift from the heavens, TVs with better pictures, sharper results and crystal clear audio. Point is, I could never fathom going back to a TV resolution of 480p or 576i, as is the local PAL standard.
Remember back in the day, when your TV had more junk in the trunk than a…trunk-thingy…with some sort of junk-like junk inside of it? It’s Thursday, please have mercy.
