DTV is not HDTV

HDTV is not the same as DTV. Not all DTV is HDTV. If you have an HDTV display, make sure to ask about HDTVcapable equipment and talk to your cable or satellite provider to verify you have the proper set-top box to view HDTV.

Picture quality:

DTV comes in several levels of picture quality.

The most common are:

  • High Definition Television (HDTV), the highest resolution,

  • Enhanced Definition Television (EDTV) has DVD quality, and

  • Standard Definition Television (SDTV).


  • When buying a new HDTV set ask what connectors you need to make sure your new HDTV equipment will work with your other electronic equipment (DVD player, digital video recorder (DVR), camcorder,VCR, computer, video games, etc.). The electronic equipment you have now should work with your new DTV, but you may need new cables. Make a list of what you have now and ask your retailer what you need to connect your components.

    A good differentiate HDTV and DTV. Many People are really does not know the real things about display screens. for getting a experience of different display screens as well as Television set then must visit online or local Home Theater Store. There is a large collection of display screens. also any confusion then we ask about systems and functions.
