What is the difference between HD TV and HD ready TV?

What is the difference between an HD ready tv and a pc monitor that already offers high resolutions?

  • PC monitors already offer high resolutions, so what is the difference between this and an hd ready tv?

  • Answer:

    well a TV has inputs besides DVI and VGA, like component or hdmi, etc. unlike a computer monitor. If a TV is HD-ready, though, it still needs an external tuner. If you want to watch tv on your computer monitor, you'll need an hd-tuner card.

PC monitors usually don't have speakers and a tuner, where as an HD TV has speakers and a digital tuner.

When u start trying to use a PC monitor for a TV; you'll have a tuff time.. doesn't have all options as a HD TV screen

The difference is not in resolution but in the width of the displayed picture. HD displays pictures that are wider than conventional TVs. You see more on HD than on earlier/conventional TV sets. Films/movies shown on conventional TVs display only the middle of the actual movie, whereas HD displays the sides as well. Get my drift?

A PC monitor can't pick up TV signals on its own. And usually cannot connect to anything that does (like a cable box, tivo, or vcr). And usually HD TVs are bigger in size than PC monitors.
