I'll add the resolutions to the post now. also, i've already written that both devices have digital/analog tuners inside ;) point taken, thanks… i didn’t know about the difference. in Europe, HD ready means its resolution is at least 720p, but less than 1080p.

Just wanted to mention that I noticed you used the "HD Ready" blurb to describe these tv's and that actually means 2 different things depending on which side of the pond you are on. HD Ready in Europe means that it can display an HD picture. HD Ready in the US means it can display HD, but has no built in tuner. I just wanted to clarify for those looking to purchase an HDTV, and don't know the difference. If you buy a TV in the US and it says "HD Ready" you are also going to have to buy a digital tuner, or use a cable box with digital tuner. I've also wondered why your posts about HDTV's don't include the resolution they will display, as I find this one of the most important aspects of them?
