if it don't say hd, it ain't. besides that, I think 720i(integrated) qualifies as hd. then there is 720p and 1080i & p. integrated means the gun paints every other line, then goes back and paints the in betweens. p(forgot what it'scalled) throws all 720 or 1080 down each pass. i think almost all of them now come with the ability to receive and play HD broadcasts, but do not presume. I think most broadcasts and cable is 720, not 1080. bluray is 1080, i think. my wife's new camcorder is 1080. now adays, 1080p is readily available and not for much extra. samsung(and maybe others by now sell a dlp led. it is not thin. not too thick. has better contrast and brightness than an lcd. lot cheaper also. I think the buy.com deals on samsung probably come direct from samsung. you can go to bestbuy or circuitcity to see and compare the various units. I see that this week's special on samsung is $1150 delivered for the 56". or the 61 with a stand is 1629 delivered. that is a deal also, if you need a stand. will have new specials in a week or so. for the long of it, go to wikipedia.org At 11:21 AM 3/4/2008, you wrote: >trying to sort out the new (to me) TV definitions/specs etc. > >are all LCD high def?
