So, you’ve heard the wonders of HDTVs and have seen the beauty in shops and are ready to purchase one for your home. But you have come across two terms and are wondering what’s better: HD Ready vs Full HD?
Well, as you may already be aware, ‘Full HD‘ is considered a better buy than a television that is ‘HD Ready’. The difference between the two is simply that ‘HD Ready’ televisions require an additional purchase of a digital signal receiver to view your high definition programmes. Such digital signal receives as a set-top box is what you need to view programmes in high definition with a ‘HD Ready’ television.
A ‘Full HD‘ (high definition) television on the other hand, has an in-built digital receiver for you to view programmes in high definition. Most of the new HDTVs are ‘Full HD‘, but there are still some models being sold that are ‘HD Ready’, and of course, they are sold at a lower rate than their ‘Full HD‘ alternatives.
The other thing you need to realise when comparing HD Ready vs Full HD televisions is that most of the HD Ready televisions only go up to 720p resolution, which is not as great as Full HD televisions, which goes up to 1080p. The difference is that the more resolution a HDTV has, the better it is considered. However, this is a very general guide.
The resolution of a television is very important indeed as it is the core reason for HDTVs being sold. However, you have to take into consideration that the screen size of a television also plays a part in the clarity of the image, which is what the resolution is all about -
The difference in a 1080p and a 720p resolution on a 32″ television is very small indeed. However, this difference is noticeable by the eye on a 50+” HDTV. For this reason, you may not want to rule out purchasing a HD Ready television with a 720p resolution. Most people will say 1080p resolution and 720p is noticeable on smaller screen size, but this is often confused with the motion of the HDTV, which is different to the resolution of the HDTV.
Whereas the resolution is the detail of the images on screen - the amount of pixels that make up the images, the ‘motion’ of a HDTV is how smoothly the pixels are displayed. The more Hz a HDTV has, the better it is able to display the images without it jilting as though the image on screen is damaged at some points in the programme. HDTVs with 50Hz usually displays this jilt, and as many of the HD Ready televisions (ones with 720p resolution) are made with only 50Hz motion speed, people tend to think that a higher resolution will solve the issue. However, there are a lot of Full HD televisions with 1080p resolutions that only have 50Hz motion as well.
Your best bet when considering whether to purchase HD Ready vs Full HD television is to have a closer look at the specifications and not just the unique selling point of the television, which is displayed at the front. Spending a little time researching models will ensure you purchase the perfect HDTV for your needs.
