Types of TV: Analog vs. digital vs. HDTV
by Admin Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:15 pm
Here are the basic types of televisions currently available:
- Analog:
An analog TV cannot display progressive-scan DVD or HDTV. It can show
only standard-definition programs such as those found on regular TV,
cable, or satellite–including digital cable and DirecTV or Dish Network.
- Digital: A digital television, sometimes called a DTV, can also display progressive-scan DVD and almost always HDTV.
- EDTV:
This stands for Enhanced-Definition TV, and usually it describes a
television that can display HDTV signals but doesn’t have enough
resolution to really do them justice. Most often it applies to plasma
TVs and denotes 852×480 pixels.
- HDTV:
High-definition televisions, or HDTVs, can display standard TV,
progressive-scan DVD, and HDTV signals. They’re by far the most common
type of digital television.
