Do you know the make of this one? It looks much the same as this one at Dabs for a few quid more - the prices on these things are really dropping now!

Not compatible with HDTV.
Only 852 x 480 resolution.

A lot of these below specification screens are being sold off cheap and should be avoided.

HDTV spec as below is required

1) Have a minimum display of 720 physical lines in wide aspect ratio - which means, in effect, that it needs to be at least 720 pixels deep and 1280 pixels across.

2) Use a DVI or HDMI interface which can accept either the 720p format or the 1080i format.

3) The DVI or HDMI interfaces need to support a copy protection scheme called HDCP.

If u really want a Plasma TV - buy one. Dont worry too much about the advent of HDTV.
It will be rolled out in due course but is still years and years from becoming mainstream.
If this principle of not buying anything because of the HDTV launch were to be believed then it would be pointless buying any TV and all of us with Sky and Sky+ would be a bit screwed as Sky will also be switching to HDTV.
This is extremely cheap for a Plasma compared with just 6 months ago - I bought about 2 years back for a decent make (£2500) so it is well worth the price.
Again - dont worry about HDTV - we haven't even switched from analogue to digital yet!

Sky are supposed to start HDTV broadcasts next year, almost every US show they have on is broadcast in HD in the states so it's not like they will have a shortage of material. personally I would wait and get an HD ready display.

Seems to be made by Sampo judging from Dabs model no.

a definition:
Short for High-Definition Television, a new type of television that provides much better resolution than current televisions based on the NTSC standard. There are a number of competing HDTV standards, which is one reason that the new technology has not been widely implemented. All of the standards support a wider screen than NTSC and roughly twice the resolution. To pump this additional data through the narrow TV channels, images are digitized and then compressed before they are transmitted and then decompressed when they reach the TV.

Think basically the quality difference between a video file on your computer compared to DVD
