HDTV is larger than analog, or known television . the main important distinction between them is the clean image and the severe high quality sound you get. as a results of fact that's a severe variety of digital, there is no image degradation, no snow, interference, or noise interior the image so the perfect conceivable image and sound pronounced to return from HDTV

Answer 3

Yes , definitely. HDTV has a much sharper picture because it has so many more lines of horizontal resolution....1080 compared to 350 or so on analog tv. Besides, in 2009, all tv's are going to have to be digital. If you buy a digital set now, you won't have to add a set-top box in 2009. I have worked on tv's since 1970, so you can trust my answer.
