2. Digital HDMI or DVI HD input
3. 720p HD progressive (1280×720 @50 & 60 Hz)
4. 1080i HD (1920×1080 interlaced @50 & 60 Hz)
5. The HDMI or DVI input supports copy protection (HDCP)
HD Ready 1080p requirements:
1. Accepted video formats are reproduced without distortion
2 Display 1080p and 1080i video without overscan (1:1 pixel mapping)
3. Display native video modes at the same, or higher, refresh rate.
4. Analogue YPbPr HD input
5. Digital HDMI or DVI HD input
6. 720p HD progressive (1280×720 @50 & 60 Hz)

Full HD
Note that a Full HD Devices may not fulfill all HD Ready 1080p requirements, but HD Ready 1080p has encompassed Full HD). The most important thing in Full HD is it has 1080p resolution, so in total creates a frame resolution of 1920×1080, or 2,073,600 pixels.
1080p HDTV Plasma
A 1080p HDTV Plasma is a Plasma TV that has the capability to display 1080p material at full resolution. It has resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels progressive scan. Progressive means the image is not interlace (1080i). The progressive system displays all of the scan lines at the same time, it eliminates flickering in screen images. The interlace (1080i) system switches the display between the odd-number scan lines and the even-number scan lines every 1/60th of a second.
Finally, it’s easy to understand that the equipment which just capable of displaying both 720p and 1080i must cut down the resolution when displaying 1080p material. Sometimes it’s used the native 1080p-capable term to refer to equipment capable of rendering 1080p fully.
