High Definition is the new must have in TV and it has said to be the biggest thing since colour TV. High definition offers top quality picture with clearer images and vibrant colours. HD offers four times as much picture detail as standard TV. Sky HD TV brings 5,000 hours of HD movies, sports, entertainment, documentaries and drama programmes for you to enjoy watching TV in the highest quality. Two thirds of Sky One's prime time shows will be in HD by this Christmas; double from last year. These great HD programmes can only be viewed if your TV is compatible for HD features. Thousands of flat panel screens are not compatible and they are not often visually displayed that they are not in the shops. Only 1.3% of TVs are compatible but soon TV devices will have "HD ready" stickers on them to show their compatibility. It has been said that by 2010, 20% of homes will have HD features; so it is important to know what the best HD TV is. Research has found that LCD and Plasma displays are the best HD compatible TV's to get. They have found to only have a 3% repairs compared to 18% in other models. The companies that sell low repair rate, HD compatible TV's are Plasma, Panasonic, Pioneer and Samsung.
