lieb39 Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Hello everyone, I'm in the market for a LCD/Plasma - and Jb Hifi are getting rid of the old stock of the Sonic 32" LCD, as a newer model is taking over. The LCD is 'HD Ready' - what does this mean? Also, is it known if a tuner is built in? I think these are the specs of it (from another forum on this site..) Model no.: LWD320Type no.: 32†TFT LCD TV Interface: LVDS ( single pixel) Aspect ratio: 16:9 Horizontal Refresh Rate: 30KHZ~81.1KHZ Vertical Refresh Rate: 56HZ~76HZ Pixel Pitch: H 0.51075 X V 0.51075MM (Samsung Panel ) Max Resolution: 1280x1024 Contrast Ratio: 1000:1 ( Samsung Panel ) View Angle (CR>10) : (-89~+89)(H), (-89~+89)(V) Color Depth Bit: 8 Bit Response Time: 8ms Brightness: 500cd/m2 TV System: PAL / SECAM / NTSC Tuning system: VS Tuning Program memory: 99 channels Picture control: Brightness / Contrast / Color / Sharpness Aspect ratio: 4:3, wide, cinema, subtitle, Fill screen Sound control: Bass / Treble / Balance Total Audio (W): 8W+8W / 8OHM Indicator: Bi-color LED: On (Green ) / Stand-by (Red) OSD language: English, Spanish, Chinese, Italiano, Portugues, French Din type: Antenna (RF) in RCA (AV in ): Composite Video / Audio in S-Video: Y/C in RCA (RF / AV out): Composite (RF / AV ) out 15-Pin D-sub: PC (Analog RGB) DVI: DVI (Digital) Auto Power off: Yes Sleep Timer: Yes Clock: Yes Consumption: 32†Stand-by: 3 Watt / Operating: 180 Watt Now, it's on sale for $895 - but they only have one left, the display model. I'm certain I can take $100 of it, as it's the display model. Is it worth it? Or should I just save up for a newer model? Thanks, lieb39
Grahameh Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Also - What does HD Ready mean?Cheers Don't know the particular TV but it only has an analogue tuner if it says 'HD ready', which the specs confirm. HD ready means you can plug in an HD STB and get a HD picture.
dvduser Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 HD ready means you can plug in an HD STB and get a HD picture. No it doesn't - HD Ready only means the unit will accept a HD signal in, and depending on the resolution of the panel it may scale the input signal to it's native resolution if the panel is less than the HD standard.

So in this case HD ready should mean it will show a HD picture, or am I missing something?
