sd = standard definition = 480i
ed = enhanced definition = 720p and 768p
hd = high definition = 1080i
full hd = high definition = 1080p
since both the last ones are hd sometimes they neglect to tell u it isn't FULL hd. and since they up and down convert they throw the 1080p around a lot. "accepts 1080p HD signal"
yes it does, but then it DOWN converts it to make it compatible with the native resolution of the tv.
ask what the native resolution is.
it is defined by two number a x b
the b is the important one as it defines the number of rows of pixels

EDTV is enhanced definition, which a middle step from basic cable and high definition. I sell tvs and i say that i would spend the extra money and get a high def tv, cause if you get a high definition box your picture will be no where near HD quality because the EDTV doesnt have hear the resolution as an HDTV. Good luck and check out sears.com they have great deals and you can do side by side comparisions and see what one tv has over another. Samsung, Sony, and Sharp are probably 3 of the best.

All it is , is Enhanced Definition, not full High Definition. So it's :
Enhanced DefinitionTV. Not the answer. You should get LCD in a Sony Bravia, then you will know what HDTV is all about.
