The screen aspect ratio has nothing to do with whether a tv is HDTV or
not.

If the tv can display the lines of resolution at the appropriate scan
rate for HDTV, then it is high definition. Just because it may have
bars on the top and bottom, or on the side when displaying a different
aspect ratio has nothing to do with HDTV or not.


I guess if it shows the correct resolution but why anyone would want to
buy something that bass-ackward, I don't know. May as well just buy a
smaller TV with the correct aspect ratio.

True, and this is likely a piece of junk tv, but the poster I was responding to said that you couldn't get even an HD monitor for less than $1750.
