Digital TV question Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I have an HD ready widescreen television. To watch HD TV as it's meant to be seen I need a convertor. What about DVDs? Will the screen quality improve if I have the convertor?

And while I'm asking, are HD and digital TV two different things?

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I don't think the screen quality will improve on DVDs with the converter, but I am not sure. HDTV and DTV are not the same thing. All HDTV is digital, but not all DTV is HD. DTV still has higher quality that normal TV, but not all of it has the same resolution of HDTV.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

So the difference between regular digital TV and HD digital TV is resolution?

Tired of ads?

South Korea has the same digital TV system as the US and Canada, etc.

Digital TV includes about a dozen formats. Most are HD, some are SD. Depending on your screen size, HD is a whole lot better than SD. It is up to 7x higher resolution than normal TV and SDTV and in some formats has up to 2x the frame information.

The tuner (the convertor) will not help with DVDs. Your DVDs probably will be better if your DVD player is progressive scan, depending on how good of a TV you have.

Good luck.

Thanks for the help. My DVD player is progressive scan so the picture quality is good depending on the DVD.
