replies: text: I'd like to ask this one too - since a HD Ready 1080p screen has to accept lower resolution signals including 720p and 576i, it cannot reproduce those without scaling, so surely this is either mis-stated (i.e. it should be 1080p video signals are reproduced without distortion) or factually inaccurate?

replies: text: I guess it relates to picture proportions, i.e. there must be a mode that does not scale input signal to fit the whole viewable area, i.e. "zoom" 4:3 STDV picture to fit the 16:9 screen using some non-linear transform. --188.123.231.4 (talk) 10:17, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Accepted video formats are reproduced without distortion

message: My mum bought two TVs 3 years ago. Both were advertised as HD Ready. Both support 1080p. The TV that has a sticker on it saying "Futureproof for HDTV" doesn't have an HDMI socket, whilst the other TV does. My new HD cable tv receiver has hdmi out and only a optical audio out. The DVI socket doesn't translate the audio from the signal cable and the instructions suggest using analogue RCA cables from the receiver (which don't exist) to the TV. Is there a legal definition for what "HD Ready" is?
I mean, this TV cost a lot of money and when future-proof doesn't mean at least 3 years it reminds me of using the term "guaranteed" to sell those 100% capital guaranteed investments that turned out to only be guaranteed as long as certain investment banks didn't go bankrupt.--81.129.143.235 (talk) 20:52, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
