I have no idea, but my dad works for ACME TV in Spokane, Wash. He has done this sort of thing for over 17 years and I know he can answer your questions...Hope this helps!

HD Ready refers to the fact that it is ready to be used with an HD Television receiver (i.e. HD Cable box or HD Satellite Receiver). A true HDTV means that it has an HD Tuner built in and can receiver over the air transmissions. If you don't plan on using rabbit ears or an antenna on the roof, save the money and buy an HD Ready TV.
