I believe plenty of dvd’s are HD

No DVDs are HD. The lowest HD resolution is 1280x720 (720p). The max DVD resolution in NTSC is 720x480, which is closer to wide-screen 480p SD.

What about a blu ray disc? I thought that is the only true “HD” available, meaning 1080p capability.

However, we have HD tv channels, upconverted dvd’s which play on my HD tv, etc.

I believe there are few true 1080p HD formats (I thought only blu ray), but we still view plenty of what is called “HD”. There is a vast difference in the “HD” tv channels viewed on my HD Sony, although I also understand no broadcast is in tue 1080p HD.

If I have that right?
