^^ Full HD, HDTV or 1080p all of refer to one thing : High Definition TV. Now in India none of the TV broadcaster have a full HD transmission. So why buy a HDTV at all?
Because HD can be achieved by a) Blu-ray player b)HD game consoles c) an up scaled DVD player.
While a Blu-ray player or an HD gaming console can beam images in native HD (1920 by 1080) an upscaling DVD player has to work extra hard to match the pixel count of an HDTV. The difference is barely visible to the eyes and the price of a upscaled DVD player is sometimes lower than a Blu-ray gaming title!
If you want to know from the horse's mouth than I have an LG 32" TV, an Onkyo AV receiver, a Philips upscaled DVD player and finally an 80GB bad boy - PS3
which I bought last week!
I have connected TV and PS3 via HDMI cable (for video) and AV receiver and PS3 through an optical connector for audio. I must tell you man, the results are earth shattering
