We have read about Astro going HD real soon and there has been debates if you should get a Heady Ready, HD or a Full HD tv if your looking to upgrade. I had to go through the details when i was buying a LCD tv for my home and ultimately decided to go for a Full HD tv simply because, if im upgrading might as well go for best for my dollar value.
Now do you know what HD really is?
HDTV is defined as having higher quality video, audio and a wider image aspect ratio than standard television broadcast signals.
There are 4 formats that can be viewed on a High Definition TV; they are 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080p. The higher the number, the higher the resolution. Although HDTV’s can play all 4 formats, most experts refer to High Definition TV broadcasts as having either 720p and 1080p resolution.
What does this mean?
The term 720p means that 720 lines of pixels are used to create the TV picture. The “p” stands for progressive scanning, a technique that scans and displays all of the lines in one frame. 1080p displays in progressive scanning but has 1080 lines of pixels in a single frame, resulting in a clearer and more defined picture quality. 1080p are formats used to produce Blu-Ray discs but are rarely used for TV broadcasts.
So to the consumer, a 720p “HD-ready” television is enough to fully enjoy the HD experience of sharper images and kick ass colours! The industry standards for HD are 720p and 1080i are resolutions in which most TV programmes are being produced

Im sure Malaysians are waiting for Astro to start rolling out the HD transmission and of course we hope that the cost factor is not going to annoy the population in the process
