Full HD is 1080x1920, HD Ready is less than that.

It doesn't make a great deal of difference, a good quality HD Ready set will give a better picture than a cheap Full HD one.

At one time ALL sets were HD Ready only, then a few (VERY expensive) Full HD sets started to appear, now they are commonplace, particularly in the lartger sets and for LCD's (Plasma's less so, but even some Plasma's are Full HD).

Some retailers are not using the Full HD term now and instead opt for HD Ready 1080p .

It's the 1080p you should look out for

HD Ready 1080P is really a different spec, it's probably a Full HD (1080x1920) set which will accept 1080P signals, but pretty well all of them did anyway - but perhaps a few of the junk makes didn't?.
