I am looking for a NON-HD flat screen tv. Is this HD or Non-HD. The description is misleading. It does not say HD yet says everything is better in HD.

I am pretty sure it is given it has a hdmi input/output. That is how we have it hooked to our satellite. Great picture

Hi, The TV is excellent. Very good quality for a non "name brand". I will gladly purchase another one when this one dies.

it is not technically HD, but it looks pretty good nonetheless. I use it with my ps3 and watch hd movies all the time and really like it.

It's 1080p. When it says it is 4k capable it means it can take 4k content from a 4k source and downgrade it to its "full hd". That being said, it is probable the highest quality resolution you can get before going the 4k UHD route. I'm very interested in this set myself but I'm going to wait for cnet or some official site to review it.

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR

Hello--I just bought this TV and it was delivered on April 1st. I have it set up with a Directv HD satellite box via an hdmi cable. The picture is very good to excellent. I also have a 50" plasma and compared to this Toshiba, I think [the plasma] has a better picture, but I also have an older 20" Samsung lcd and this Toshiba blows it away. I think you'll be happy if you purchase this TV and connect it to an HD source. One drawback I can see is that viewing angles are not the best; that's something that lcd's are known for. If you watch this TV off to one side as opposed to straight on viewing, the colors get a bit washed out. The other thing I noticed is that this TV has only one antenna/cable input. My old TV that this one replaced had 2, and I was able to plug in the satellite box to one and a "rabbit ears" antenna to the other. Then I was able to switch to the antenna feed and watch our extra local over-the-air TV channels (such as 2, 5, 7, 9 in Chicago). (I can get the digital local channels with satellite, but not the extra 5.1, 5.2, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, etc. channels) I suppose I could buy a splitter/diplexer to split the signal, but it might not work with satellite (I believe it will work with cable but I'm not sure). Other than that (and the viewing angles), I'm very, very pleased with this TV.

are you sure that the cable box is HD? kinda sounds like it is SD? the other thing to remember is that not all stations are being broadcast in HD and even then some local channels might not be broadcasting certain shows in HD. for example, my local stations might broadcast a golf game that is in HD, but the local news is broadcast in SD.As for the tv itself, i'm not sure. I'm waiting to get my 4053 delivered and i'm having a hard time waiting! you might want to check your connections again though.

Its a good full HD 1080 TV. The 720p one is 32LE451U and the 1080p is 32LE551U

What the salesperson probably should have said is that it's not a 1080p HDTV. It is 720p which is still HD.

This TV sits between HD and UHD. I don't remember the exact pixel counts, but IIRC, normal HD is around 4 mil pixels, UHD is around 23 mil, and this one sits around 16 mil. It upscales your regular HD and actually downscales the UHD just enough to match up with what it can produce. Having had the TV for a couple months with a FireTV, I can tell you that the Aquos extra yellow pixel and HD upscaling makes everything GORGEOUS. I can't compare it directly to an UHD TV, but I haven't regretted my decision at all.

All HDTVs have the same quality through SD. You'll be able to see the broadcast but not clearly. If you go to a friend's house that has an HDTV broadcasting SD and go to another place with HDTV and SD, you'll see it's basically the same, pixelated quality. Hope this helps. It's not all that bad though but it's definitely not worth getting an HDTV if you plan to use only SD. You can try this out. Good luck!

This TV is not 1080p. It is 720p/1080i. It can handle 1080p but I think it is still showing in 720p mode.

Hi Leslie, I believe all DVD players are 720p, not HD - to get HD from recorded media you need to be into blu-ray - which this TV does not do. I personally like the softer tones from DVD/720p - when you get that high quality picture - very few people look good, IMHO.

Some channels are HD, most are not. HD ones are pretty good. Non hd Quality is not terrible.

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

No, doesn't require an HD TV. The graphics are really good even without an HD.

This upscales to 4K but is not a 4K screen. I'm not a gamer so can't answer that. I've had the TV for 6 months and am totally satisfied with it.
