HD or HD ready

[cse]

Could someone explain to me, simply, the difference between HD and HD ready please?

HD Ready sets have a minimum of 720 horizontal lines of pixels (usually 720 or 768)

Full HD has 1080.

HD Ready can accept 1080P signals but won't display at this - it'll down scale to it's lower resolution. HD will display at the full 1080.

Yes, if it's a large screen (37"+) and you sit close enough.
