Panasonic TH-42PD60U 42-Inch Plasma EDTV
EDTV is NOT High Definition by any standard.`
If you think 480p (EDTV) is High Definition you are VERY mistaken.  By \\"DEFINITION\\" the term \\"High Definition\\" (HDTV) refers to 1,080 scan lines of resolution. <br /> <br />480p (progressive scanning) is the EXACT same resolution used in a Standard Television's 480i (interlaced scanning).  The difference being a full screen refresh rate of 1/60th of a second used in 480p images opposed to 1/30th of a second used in 480i images.  A negligible difference may be noted when viewing very fast action segments of a program or sporting event. <br /> <br />If you want High Definition Television, look for a model capable of displaying 1080i or even better yet the latest available 1080p models. <br /> <br />Retired Senior Technical Specialist (AT&T) <br />
