I know there is a vocal bunch who chooses to reject our reality and substitute their own. I remember "If it ain't a million pixels, it ain't High Def" being a rallying cry for a while.
That rings a bell. In order for a display/TV/monitor to be called/sold as an "HDTV" it need to have a built in ATSC DTV signal decoder and the resolution of the display need to be at least 720p. If it didn't have a built in decoder, it would be labeled "HD Ready".
