HD TV - quick question

    Quick question - does the fact that my Samsung LCD TV (about five or six years old) have a HDMI socket mean that it's HD ready/enabled?

    I can't see anything on the back of the telly, nor in the manual.

    Hi,

    I would put my favourite chocolate bunny easter egg on it being HD ready.

    HD ready sets have been on the market for about 10 years now and HDMI arrived a few years after.

    Cheers, I suspect the same (based on no knowledge whatsoever though).

    When you say "HD ready", do I need to do something to enable the HD'ness, or will it just play HD channels if I tune them in?

    (apologies for the really thick question, but I'm no good at this sort of stuff!)

    Fear not you are not alone, I worked in retail at the time and the 'ready' part caused so much confusion!

    The HDready symbol is an acknowledgment that the TV meets the minimum requirements to receive and display an HD signal ie watch Sky HD or play PS3 games in HD.

    This is a universal accreditation amongst brands and products. The TV itself is plug and play more or less.

    What are you trying to connect?

    I'm not trying to connect anything at the moment.

    It's a long and complicated story, but I'm trying to squeeze a deal out of a certain TV provider and there wasn't much point in looking for HD channels if my telly wasn't capable of receiving them!

    Thanks very much for the info.
