‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing.

Some products come with built-in DVD players or Blu Ray players.
Freeview or Freesat tuner	Freeview
Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky.

LED-backlit screens can either be ‘edge-lit’ or ‘local dimming’.
