HDTV but not HD ready? DVI?
Hey types I ‘m which examines the HDTV Sony Wega KV-36HS500, says that its not ready and it hd a link DVI at the back but no HDMI. A couple of questions, 1. I networks light of Room (digital cable), when I get the container cable HD, is that what I need visual channels HD? 2. Xbox 360 will work in HD without a separate box or something? 3. Can I connect a laptop computer, via DVI-DVI, TV? 4. It doesn ‘t have an HDMI input, is that really that bad and what was not against one? He thanked the tizi!

HD-Ready means the TV can do HD, but doesn’t have a built-in tuner of any sort for cable or antenna.
DVI or component cable will be required for HD.
The cable box probably supports component video and will give you both your regular and HD channels.
With the 360, you can either connect to your TV with component video as well. Or, you could see about getting a VGA to DVI converter, and use the 360’s VGA cable.
A laptop or computer can also use the DVI port and is the preferred method for these devices.
Not having a HDMI port isn’t a big deal right now. HDMI is nice in that it’s a single cable that carries both your HD video and surround sound signal on a single cable. HDMI is also commonly used for 1080p, but about the only things that use 1080p right now are HD-DVD and Blu-Ray - both of which can be ignored for at least another year while the market figures out what’s going on there.
Component video, meanwhile, will support 1080i just fine which will be good enough for many years to come.
