Recently I have seen the description Full HD alongside some advertisements for HD TV's. Have I missed something? Is my new HD Ready TV already "old"?

HD Ready usually means it has a native resolution that can display high definition but you'll need an external receiver or tuner to interrpret the signals.
Full HD is a marketing play that says only 1080p resolution sets are full HD, as opposed to 720p or 1080i sets.
Hope this helps.

HD TVs have different capacities. Like 720I or 720P The newest ones are 1080I and 1080P. True HD is 1080P where as the others are HD but not Full. The number is the resolution where as I stands for interlace and P stands for progressive scan. 1080p is the final format and the best you can get.

HD Ready means the TV will show high def if you have a HD box from the cable provider.
Full HD means you don't need the box.
