Markings

In advertising for such devices, the term “True HD” was sometimes used in addition to the term “Full HD”. Alternatively, the well-known term “ HD ready ” was supplemented by the specification “1080p” in order to set it apart from its minimum resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels (921,600 pixels, also 16: 9), which is a good half lower.

In order to receive the HD-ready-1080p label awarded by the digital Europe industry association , the devices should be able to receive their signals via a digital interface with 1080p at 50, 60 or 24 Hz and the analog relic of the overscan display should be able to be switched off. However, the label says little about the image quality, the image dimensions or the display performance of the device.
