I'd do it, but what's that "Leslie Dame Enterprises"? That makes me nervous...
[quote name='Kfoster1979']No again your wrong... Your confusing HD Ready and HD Built in. Again if your TV can support a HD Resolution then by definition of the ATSC it is a HDTV. But at this point its a Pissing contest, also take a look there are also older TVs that do all 4 but but have a ATSC tuner. HD ready is technically a monitor due to the fact it needs an outside source to give it HD so I will concied that fact . However you do not need all 4 Resolutions to have an HDTV...[/QUOTE]
The only exception would be if there are TVs that handle all four broadcast resolutions, but for some reason can't handle all of them for input. That could technically still be an HDTV. I have no idea if there are any such TVs though. It would be a pretty stupid oversight (though no stupider than selling TVs that only do one of the HD resolutions).
[quote name='orochi']And then what if they change the standard to include that the TV has to do 1080p as well? [/QUOTE]
That's silly. The standard's been set for years. Anything above that is just a bonus, an added capability the TV has.
[quote name='h2dk']
HDTVs are either 720p native
or 1080i native (excluding the newer 1080p TVs). They are not both. If you have an LCD, you cannot display 1080i. period.[/quote]
It gets resized to either 720p or 1080p. If it couldn't handle 1080i, it wouldn't be an HDTV.
If you have an RPTV that is 1080i native, you cannot display 720p. period.
Agaain, it gets resampled to 1080i. If it can't do that it's not an HDTV.
Some networks, NBC, CBS, are 1080i while others, ABC, FOX, ESPN are 720p. Your TV will convert the signal to its native display.
Exactly. If it can't do that, it's not an HDTV.
If your TV does not have an HD Tuner (HDTV Monitor), your TV, "BY DEFINITION", is still an HDTV because it can display an HD signal of either 1080i OR 720p.
No, you're randomly making that up. By definition an HDTV has an ATSC tuner and handles all four resolutions. Anything that doesn't meet those criteria is BY DEFINITION not an HDTV. My PC monitor is NOT an HDTV for example.
