2.How would you know if something is an LCD HDTV or just a LCD TV ?
A. any tv that can display images at and above 720p resolution (meaning 720p, 1080i, and 1080p) are all HDTV's, (high definition tv's).
there has never been a regular definition LCD tv. all standard def tv's are tube crt tv's. every lcd is a high def tv, it's just that it would be a 720p hdtv, or a 1080p hdtv.

I have a few questions about LCD HDTV?
Q. I'm considering purchasing an LCD HDTV, but I have a few questions.
1. First off I do have cable, but I'm guessing that's not enough to get HD channels. Explain to me what other stuff I would need in order to view my cable channels in HD.
2. I have a pretty new DVD player that has HD upconversion (have no idea what that means) and AVI Divx and Xvid support. My question is if I were to watch a DVD with an LCD TV would the quality be better? Also I sometimes use my flash drive to play AVI videos on my DVD player. Would the quality of the AVI videos be better with an LCD TV also?
3. I have an XBOX 360, but I've never played it on an LCD TV. Is there anything I need to do to make it display correctly?
4. Any other information I need to know would be very helpful.

A. 1. A digital converter from the cable company and subscribe to their package of HD channels. You would also need to make the connection from the box to the TV with an HDMI cable or component video cables (red, green, and blue RCA cables).
2. HD upconversion means it takes the lower HD resolution of the DVD (720p) and converts it to 1080i resolution. Watching a DVD on an LCD TV wouldn't make much difference if the LCD TV weren't capable of displaying HD. Although the tight pixelation of the LCD screen may appear to be a sharper image than on a CRT screen.
3. The XBox is capable of putting out true 1080p resolution. But, you have to connect it to your TV with an HDMI cable. If you use any other type of cable, you are limited by the amount of bandwidth they'll pass. So, you can't get true HD (if at all). Component video cables can pass 720p resolution. S-video can pass up to about 560 resolution, which is called enhanced definition. Composite video (single yellow RCA cable) passes standard definition at 480.
4. When you get HDMI cables, don't fall for the hype that expensive cables are better than cheap cables. You shouldn't pay more than $10 for a 6-foot HDMI cable. Also, if you use any other cabling system than HDMI, you must also have an audio connection (HDMI passes true digital audio, the other types do not pass any audio). For true surround sound, you'll need a digital audio cable (fiber optic or coaxial) from the TV to the receiver. Again, don't pay more than $10 for a 6-foot cable. And, you can just use a standard RCA cable for the coaxial digital (even just one side of the standard red and white pair audio cables).
