This means HD-ready

  • HD-ready means in German "ready for HD" and stands for televisions, which have a sharper picture than the old tube TV. "HD" stands for High Definition and signifies, in a figurative sense of "high definition television". The packaging also "720p is often".
  • The Label was founded in early 2005 by the European Information, Communications and Consumer Electronics Industry Technology Association (EICTA) to the step to even sharper TV pictures to be taken.
  • TVs with the HD ready Symbol, to solve with a full-screen resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. Older tube devices, on the other hand, only a resolution of 720 x 576 pixels. As a result, the picture on HD-ready devices-it looks much sharper.
  • If you have an HD-ready, you can see the public-service broadcasting organisations (ARD, ZDF, etc.) in HD, provided you have a HD Receiver. The resolution of the HD channels is usually 1280 x 720.
