LCD is a type of monitor and so is Plasma, CRT, Rear Projection, and Front Projection. HDTV is a TV Transmission standard which is like Standard Definition (SDTV), Enhanced Definition (EDTV), and High Definition (HDTV). You can have an LCD that is HDTV compatible. The difference in the three levels of standards mentioned above is considerable and I mentioned them in good, better, best order respectively. You want at least EDTV but possibly HDTV because that is the direction everything is headed unless you like the idea of buying something else in the near future. LCD is a nice alternative if you want something 36" or smaller. Larger, go with either rear projection with DLP or Plasma. Just a note on the LCD: make sure it has a faster refresh rate of at least 16ms but 8ms is best. It will help make for a sharper image with less ghosting. You are mixing apples and oranges here.

The world cup will the first to be produced this way. At the moment it will, the difference will come when analogue is switched off and programs are produced in high definition format.
