Official HDTV logo and standards launched

If you are in the market for a high definition TV (HDTV) then you’ll want to make sure that what you are getting is the real deal. There are a lot of disgruntled people out there in UK who are delighted that they bought their big, expensive flat-panel TVs but are furious to discover that most of those already sold in the UK are not capable of displaying HD content. This is because the panel resolutions are too low. To ensure consumers know what they are getting, EICTA, the European Industry Association for Information Systems, Communication Technologies and Consumer Electronics – has announced its minimum requirements for HDTV receivers and a new logo. This is the industry body that came up with the 'HD-Ready' logo – which tells you that a TV can handle high-definition images and all it needs is a digital TV tuner. If you want the technical details, go here, but it’s the logo that counts for the rest of us. Hdtv_logoJust keep your eyes peeled for the new HDTV logo because it means your new flat panel TV is not just ready for HD signals, it has a digital TV tuner in-built.The new logo applies also to HD receivers and combined devices, like digital video recorders (DVRs) with in-built digital receivers.
