Key Features
Digital TV Standard refers to the way in which your television receives and displays signals: EDTV (Enhanced Definition Television) - The picture quality of EDTV is superior to that of standard analog TV (480i) but not as good as HDTV (1080i or 720p). EDTV displays the picture at a resolution of 852x480 (480p) lines in either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios and it includes Dolby Digital sound system. HDTV (High Definition Television) - An improved television system which provides twice the vertical and horizontal resolution of existing television standards. It also provides audio quality approaching that of compact discs. It capables of displaying on a wider screen (16x9 as opposed to the conventional 4x3) and at higher resolution. SDTV (Standard Definition Television) - The SDTV picture, having either in 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios, is better and of higher quality than the one of NTSC, however, it does not reach the quality and resolution of HDTV.
Television screen size is based on a diagonal measurement from the upper right corner to the bottom left corner, or from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner of the actual screen.

Digital TV Standard
HDTV - HDTV receiver is integrated.
Traditional TVs have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (squarish), which represents the ratio of the width of the screen to the height. Widescreen TVs have an aspect ratio of 16:9 (also known as "letterbox", a rectangular shape). If you plan to watch a lot of DVD movies on your TV, you might want to consider a widescreen TV, as many DVDs support the 16:9 aspect ratio. If you have a widescreen TV and are viewing standard programming, the picture will appear in letterbox format, meaning that the picture will appear with black boxes on either side or the top and bottom of the screen.
The Display Format refers to the type of digital signal that a TV can display. The ATSC, which governs digital TV standards, has designated 18 formats for transmitting digital television. These are the ones that are used most frequently: 480i - This resolution is used by Standard Definition TV (SDTV), and provides a vertical resolution (lines per frame) of 480 interlaced and a horizontal resolution of 704, for a total of 337,920 pixels.
Broadcast Format Supported
480i (SDTV)
The broadcast formats supported by your television dictate what sort of signals your television is able to receive and process. It is important that your television not only support but is also able to display the formats you wish to view. A supported format can be understood by your television, but not necessarily displayed in its optimum form. 1080i, 1080p and 720p are standards for HDTV, while 480p and 480i are standard definition formats.
Broadcast Format Displayed
480i (SDTV)
There are various types of tuners that may be built into a television: NTSC (National Television System Committee) is the analog television broadcasting standard used widely in North America. It is referred to as a 525-line standard, but actually displays only 480 lines. NTSC is to be replaced with new DTV (Digital TV) standards in the coming years. \r\nThe PAL (Phase Alternating Line) standard was introduced in the early 1960's and was implemented widely in Europe. It has a wider channel bandwidth than NTSC as it runs on 635 lines. \r\nATSC (Advanced Television Standards Committee) creates the technical standards for the US digital television system (DTV). These standards are expected to be used in most new televisions, as the US television system shifts from analog to digital. \r\nQAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) tuner is present in some new digital televisions and similar devices. It enables direct reception of digital cable channels without the use of a set-top box. QAM tuners can be likened to the cable equivalent of an ATSC tuner which is required to receive over-the-air (OTA) digital channels broadcast by local television stations.

Remote Control
Remote controls come in several different types, but among the most common are the standard remote, which only works on your TV, and the universal remote, which allows you to control not only your TV, but other video and audio components.
Image Quality
There are several types of comb filters. In all cases, the comb filter helps to separate the color signals from the black and white, providing a higher resolution, or sharper, picture. Of the three types, the 3DYC provides the sharpest picture, then the digital comb filter, then analog.

Audio Features
There are various types of audio capabilities that may come with your television: Mono: Single-channel sound, usually using a single speaker. Stereo: Dual-channel sound, usually using two speakers. Surround: Multiple-channel sound, using multiple speakers (usually six) for greater audio depth. There are many types of surround sound, and audio systems vary in the number of speakers and technologies used to produce surround sound. Virtual Surround: Simulated multiple-channel sound with fewer (two or three) speakers.
Variable audio output connectors allow you to control the volume of your TV with your TV's remote control, even when it is connected an audio receiver. This is a useful feature if your remote control does not work with your receiver.

MTS stands for Multichannel Television Sound, a standard that allows the encoding of 3 channels of audio within a standard NTSC (analog) video signal to a television. A television that is able to receive MTS Stereo allows you to watch television with stereo sound.
