HDTV is digital TV at resolution of 720 or 1080 pixels vertically. On an analog TV, you can display HDTV resolution by using the component video (Y/Pb/Pr, or red green and blue cable) connections.

If you are happy with how your TV picture looks then it is good - especially if you connect the source (Astro, DVD player) with component video.

How old is your TV? do you feel it's old enough for an upgrade, or are you just itchy?

What is the model number, damn it???

you know, if you don't know anything about your TV, we will do some research ourselves if you let us know what model it is, at least.

I didn't think there were any 42" CRTs - the largest I know of was 36". Anyway if it is that big, it should have a component connection and that should be able to display a picture from a HD source. If it is older, it could be limited to 720P.
