So you have heard all the geeky nerds talking about HD television and how brilliant the pictures look. What you don’t know however is what the term high definition or HD means and how to ensure you buy the right package. So in the war of HD ready vs full HD who is winning and which option should you choose?

When analysing HD ready vs Full HD it is quite easy to get lost in the ‘tech’ spiel. To understand what the best option is you first need to understand what HD television is and how it differs from normal broadcast.

Flat panel televisions are made in a way that the picture is formed using lines of dots or what the industry terms pixels. So if your television has a resolution of 1366 x768, it simply means that the number of dots (pixels) on the screen is equal to these two numbers multiplied together. There are 1366 pixels across the width of the screen and 768 along the height, therefore the total number of pixels equals 1366 x768 = 1049088, that’s roughly a million pixels that make the picture.  When looking at HD ready vs Full HD you need to understand this factor. So in your decision of HD ready vs full HD many would say you should always opt for the full HD television package. This is actually incorrect and we will explain why. If you are going to be watching normal broadcast, you should opt for a standard TV and not a HD one. This is because, if you are viewing a program in normal definition broadcast, the quality of the broadcast means that the pixels on a HD television will never be completely filled by the broadcast. To get over this, the television has to work overtime to fill in the blank pixels; this is when you see pixilation on the screen.

So in your HD ready vs Full HD there is no easy answer. If you are going to be watching lots of Blu-ray films and mainly HD television you may want to opt for the full HD television package. If you do this however you should realise that if you are going to watch normal broadcast television often, the picture quality may vary. You could find that as you watch the programs you see lots of pixilation.

Personally when looking at HD ready vs Full HD, we opted for the HD ready package due to the fact that many programs we watch are not yet broadcast in HD. As the HD broadcast becomes more and more common and our television becomes older, we may decide on a full HD television. Watching programs in high definition does make a difference. We are big sports enthusiasts and we love to watch our favourite Premier League matches in high definition. The war between HD ready and full HD televisions will always be a love hate relationship. Although many of us like to tell are friends we have a HD television, if we do not know about the technology are viewing pleasure may be reduced.
