Things to look out for when choosing your TV…
HD Ready offers viewers incredibly clear and sharp pictures on their HD Ready TV. You will need a HD input to see the benefit but the two combined will astound with vivid colours, high contrast and detailed picture quality.
Built-in DVD is ideal for the bedroom or kitchen as the built-in DVD player saves space as you wont need an additional player to watch your DVDs.
Built-in iPod Docks are the perfect home for your iPod, enabling you to easily play and charge your iPod by connecting it to your TV.
1080p is currently the best form of HD Ready TV. To benefit from 1080p you will need a 1080p HD TV with at least one HDMI socket and a form of 1080p input e.g. Blu-ray player, High Definition games console or Sky+ HD Box.
100Hz allows you to sit back and enjoy home entertainment without ghosting and judder. The addition of extra frames to the program material creates much smoother fast moving content
