TV Classifications: NTSC Analog TV - (National Television Standards Committee), Traditional TV;
now being phased out. ATSC Digital TV - (Advanced Television Standards Committee), DTV;
This is "SDTV" - Standard Definition TV - the new, (digital) TV Standard;
replaces NTSC Analog TV. Integrated HDTV - or simply, HDTV; DTV with an Internal (built-in) High Definition TV Receiver.
This is able to Receive and Display all ATSC TV Signals - Including HDTV Signals. Digital-HDTV-'Capable' or 'Ready'- Digital TV that is able to DISPLAY HDTV - BUT ONLY
with the addition of an EXTERNAL HDTV Receiver. EDTV - Enhanced Digital TV - a classification* describing Digital TV's that are basically 'high-end' SDTV's. While these often include some type of technical features, added by the Manufacturer to enhance the picture, nevertheless, the picture quality does NOT equal HDTV. Technically, there is virtually no visual difference between an SDTV and an EDTV - with the possible exception of the higher price.
* For many Consumers, this classification is of questionable value; by paying more for a TV tagged "EDTV" the consumer is only getting what can best be described as an 'upgraded' SDTV. The question is, how 'up-graded' is it, if the TV simply meets the standard for SDTV? Different TV Display Types: Direct-view - Images displayed directly on the picture tube (as in the traditional CRT - Cathode Ray Tube) or one of the new, alternative technologies with a "fixed pixel" screen; ie: LCD (Liquid Crystal Display); Limited Display Size - maximum range, about 40-inches.
Note: Smaller screen sizes, (less than about 34-inches) are less effective for HDTV RPT - 'Rear Projection TV' - uses multiple, miniature picture tubes, (commonly 3) or pixel display, and a combination of mirrors and lenses to project the image from behind, on to the viewing screen; enables displayed picture to be significantly larger; size ranges: 43 to 70+ inches). Offers best value - picture size and quality at lowest cost. By RC Allen - Retirement means freedom to pursue personal interests; the Internet provides an open door to unlimited possibilities. Life is Good!
