Almost impossible to tell the difference between Full HD and HD Ready

Most people do sit too far from their TV, and therefore probably won't see any difference, but that does not excuse misrepresenting your product.
 
I got a 32" JVC back in 2015 as a prize, it does seem to be legit for 1080p though. I was actually surprised by it, it's not as bad as everyone said it would be etc... Perhaps the ones from 2016 upwards aren't as good?
 
And I'm a stuck with two sets from these scammers. I will never buy another ****ing thing from them, ever!
 
A hefty fine will stop companies from profiteering by misleading people.
Do they charge less if HD and FHD is the same?
If the charge more then this is fraud?
 
I see nobody has touched the fact that FHD is a marketing term and you can technically sell any TV and brand it as such so the fact that their TV's accepts 1080p video is sufficient for a FHD stamp is correct. The actual standard for 1080p is called "HD ready 1080p" and it is a similar with SUHD with can be anything with the standard called "Ultra HD Premium".
 
I am shocked that an upstanding supplier of TV's hasn't sued these guys to put them out of business.

This response is utter drivel, almost trying to discount the "sensational claims made by some websites", which are in fact not sensational at all. The only sensational element to this story, is that they refuse to back down from their clearly fraudulent claim that 720p is actually FHD ...

Man .. sometimes I wish I was loaded .. just so that I could put my superman cloak on and sue these kinds of people for Mr Joe Public

Like I said in my post, this isn't just about their use of FHD, but the actual stated resolution on the box specifications. If you see a stated resolution, there is zero implication that that is what the monitor can accept, but rather that that is what the monitor displays natively.

source or links? accepting 1080p and displaying in 1080p is two different things. and as the article showed...industry standard for FHD is 1080p display resolution.
 
the full hd and hd ready arguments are irrelevant, they displayed 1920 x 1080 resolution on the side of their box.

always look at the specifications, not that it matters in this case, which is the actual point.


people should start dumping their stock too...
