Fake Full HD TV claims – Major South African manufacturers respond You may want to read up on this a buy if you still buy TV sets. There are some subtle marketing differences used and if you stray away from the major brands (apart from LG who declined to comment) you could be in troubled waters. “A Full HD TV must be able to support 1,920 x 1,080 resolution to be called Full HD, and also be able to display in that format". Reducing a Full HD input down to an HD output is not classed as Full HD. See http://ift.tt/2o9yzZ9. Be wary of a quick saving online as you may not get full consumer protection or product recall. Also you may want to check whether in fact you just want a large monitor instead of a TV set. If you use Netflix or Showmax this could save you an annual TV license fee over say 5 or 6 years of use (providing you don't have any other TV tuner in the house). But we know TV tuners will also no longer receive analogue TV signals in the "future". While on the topic of TV's.... What about the difference between 1080p and 1080i? 1080p and 1080i refer to a display resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, and it is the suffixes attached to the resolution number that you must pay attention to. The “p” in 1080p stands for “progressive”, while the “i” in 1080i means “interlaced”. This is why sometimes you see ugly scan lines on some images. Read more about it at http://ift.tt/2o1Pr3B.
