There are now 3 kinds of High Definition Televisions. But exactly what are the actual differences of those Tvs for sale these days? Could it be about quality and sizes? The reply is yes, go through this details to better comprehend their own differences.
Resolution is the most important aspect of an HDTV, but first, we must understand what exactly is resolution? If you take a closer look at your television, you will notice that there are thousands of very small dots or very small squares that make up the whole picture. That is called pixel, the more pixel a television has the better the resolution of the whole picture.
HD Ready TV
An HD Ready TV has a 720p resolution, twice of that of an SDTV. An ‘HD Ready' logo means that it has 720 horizontal lines format to display. Meaning, it has 720 horizontal lines format to show.
Advantages
The picture in an HD Ready TV has no noticeable difference to a Full HD TV if the Television screen is smaller than 32 inches. An HD Ready TV can still show clear and sharp pictures coming from an HD signal and an appliance that requires an HDTV such as your PS3 or Blu-ray player. An HD Ready TV is way cheaper than a Full HD TV.
Disadvantages
Although an HD Ready TV is capable of displaying clear and sharp images from an HD signal, it still can't display some of the details that a Full HD TV can.
Full HD
An HDTV bearing a ‘Full HD' logo has a 1080p resolution meaning, it has 1080 horizontal lines format to show. Since a Full HD TV has 1080 horizontal lines per frame it is truly capable of delivering extremely clear and sharp images.
Advantage
A Full HD TV is best when buying a flat panel television with a 42 inches screen or higher. A Full HD TV has more pixels than an HD Ready TV thus it has better picture quality. Finer details are much more distinguished in Full HDTVs.
Disadvantages
I really can't think much of a disadvantage of having a Full HD Television in your home, except for the price. But it's all worth it, even if it's expensive.
UHDTV
An Ultra High Definition Television or a UHDTV is somewhat unheard of these days, but it is actually being developed in NHK Japan. A UHDTV is 16 times the resolution of an HDTV. It has a 4320p resolution and higher.
Advantage
If you want a television with a very large screen, then an Ultra HDTV is the one for you. With extremely large television screens, and you won't find one that is smaller than 55 inches. Watching movies and television shows in such very large screens is better being viewed in an Ultra High Definition Television.
Disadvantages
Its size is one of its advantages but its size too is one of its disadvantages. Due to its massive pixels, there are no UHDTV that are sold in small screens; it makes it impossible to manufacture a small screen television with such massive pixels. The smallest UHDTV is 55 inches. And the screen size can go up to a 152 inches, so make sure you have plenty of room to spare before buying an Ultra HDTV.
All I can say is that, the only difference I see is their sizes. For me, all High Definition Television can deliver clear and sharp images but only depending on their sizes. If you just want to settle for a small television screen, then you might as well settle for an HD Ready TV. A Full HD TV is best for viewing if you want a 42' or up to a 55' television screen. But if you want the largest possible screen size there is, then go for an Ultra HDTV. So it's actually all about the sizes, if you want bigger television screens then go for televisions with more pixels.
