Can I get HD on this TV?

lefteh · 03-29-2008, 01:51 PM

Hi all,
I have a Sony KV-36HS500 television, and I'm trying to figure out if I can use it to view high definition channels. Sources seem to identify the TV as "HD ready."
Here are the specs: http://www.onecall.com/ProductDetails.aspx?id=17056

I'm just wondering if I can watch HD on it, and if so, what steps I need to take.

Thanks!

Hi lefteh,

These inputs listed in your specs can be used for HDTV viewing.
HD Component (Y,Pb,Pr) Video Inputs (2R)
DVI-HDTV Interface

You will need to connect to an HDTV source like an HD Cable Box, HD Sat Dish Receiver or an Off Air HDTV tuner.

Cheers,

TV is not available, according to the notice on the site.

One Call is a good business to deal with.

Hi guys,
Thanks so much for your help!
For clarification purposes: I don't need any sort of converter or anything of the sort? If I were to order HD channels, I could simply plug my cable box into one of the listed HD ports?

Also, I already have the TV - I purchased it in 2003, actually. I'm just looking at different ways I could be using it.

You'll need an HDMI->DVI convertor/cable to do digital output from a cable box or satellite box. Mind that DVI has NO audio so extra cables for sound will be necessary.
