What is the difference between an HDTV set and a digital-ready TV set?
An HDTV set is able to receive all digital formats and display them in super-high resolution on a wider screen than analog TV. A digital-ready TV set (or HDTV-ready) is designed to receive digital signals with a decoder box. They are usually capable of providing higher resolution pictures than analog TV sets, but some sets marked as “digital-ready” are not capable of carrying HD programming. As with any major purchase, do you homework before buying a set.
