The difference between SDTV and HDTV?

[Katilian]

Pyro as Bill said:

Yeh TVs are mostly LCD/Plasma but the number of CRT monitors (High Def TV) out there is huge. Many people don't seem to realise that they've had a 15"-19" "HDTV" sitting above their PC for the last 10-15 years. Probably capable of more than 720p too.

 

Gotta love marketing.

 

Sure monitors have been "High Definition" for a long time, but I definitely wouldn't call them HDTVs (which is what we are talking about here). How many people do you know with 16:9 (or even 16:10) CRT monitors and out of those ones, how many have TV tuners in them.
