It says Yes to HD Ready, what does it mean? And is 100 MHz = Progressive Scan?

I am really envy US consumers, look here (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/slimfithdtv/index.asp), Samsung is selling Slimfit HDTVs in $ 600-800 range with HDMI connectors but for almost same price here in India we get above linked TV.:evil:

There's no info on the site about progressive scan AFAICS but I think it's pretty safe to assume that the TV can display progressive signals. It's just so easy to implement, it would be silly if they left that out.

But what is the grid/physical resolution?

The photo looks like 4:3 to me?

Hey Deepak
Looks like SlimFit TVs maximum horizontal resolution is 800 lines: http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/SlimFitHDTV/files/txs2779.pdf#search=%22slimfit%20native%20resolutio n%22
So it has to do some downscalling with both HDTVs signals.
But will display 480p great :)

No, it's false: i have one and it's true HD 720p/1080i and progressive scan (you have to think in bandwidth term, not resolution).

What is false, the fact it has a horizontal resolution of 800 lines?
Or that is has to do downscalling?

Yes I think in terms of bitrate. Good to know the image quality is good and the scalling works well :)

There's no scaling at all: i ask this to Samsung and Samsung told me that (i already have the mail).

Is the physical grid 800x1080 ? (saw that in the avsforum)
There is no digital scalling but just analog scalling? (blending pixels ?)
Thanks

It's a CRT, right? :???:
CRTs don't have fixed pixel grids ...

CRTs don't have fixed pixel grids ...CRT have optimun resolution which usually is the physical grid. My old Trinitron monitor physical grid is 1024x768 (which was the optimun). Eventually I could use the 1280x1024 resolution but not with the best definition possible.
