What is the difference between HDTV capable and HDTV ready televisions?
An HD capable TV has a built-in HDTV tuner and the ability to display at least 720-line resolution images. An HD ready TV is not capable of receiving digital TV broadcasts on its own and must be connected to a separate HDTV tuner to view digital broadcasts. An HD ready TV must still be able to display at least a 720-line resolution images.
