Thats not true at all. Most 768 tvs (HD READY Panels) will 'support' (play) 1080P content

Why worry?

Give it a year or so and the next generation of SuperDuperXtraHighDefinition (SDXHD? © to me) TVs will be out, making all the current stuff obsolete.

Since digital TV came about the TV companies have been on a roll, 30 years or more they've waited for this, having nothing new to sell other than Dolby noise reduction.... Now they can go as far as they want releasing new tech to the consumer in tiny little drips and they not going to stop.

Ill stick with my old 28" Trinitron KV until either a) they put something on TV/Sky/Cable worth watching or b) it explodes

it could easily say on a full hd tv the words hd ready. hd ready just means it can display hd it is of no reference to what level of hd it can display. you need to look at the tvs spec to see whether it is 720p or 1080p. take not that a 720p tv will be able to display 1080i just not 1080p.

I have a 42" 1080P HD TV. Seems a waste. 720P should be enough for a 42" TV.

I think youve missread what ive put. I simply stated that 1080P will 'work' generally speaking ~ ie, show a picture regardless of the size and type (Though some tvs just wont accept a 1080P signal at all)

HD Ready means that the set has at least 720 vertical lines and at least 1 HDMI input.
Full HD has generally become accepted as 1080 lines with at least 1 HDMI input. But that 'Full HD' should have a 'Ready' on the end, unless it has HD built in, like Freesat for example.
'Ready' should be on the end of any TV that needs an HD source to be plugged into it, but this seems to have got lost amongst the marketing hype...

i questioned it because we have a 720 tv and if i connect a game console set at 1080p all i get is the sound and a black screen but if it is set at 1080i then the picture can be seen.
