Does anyone know the difference between the 32" FD Trinitron® WEGA® TV KV-32FS120 and the 32" Hi-Scan® FD Trinitron® WEGA® TV KV-32HS420?

I currently have the first one, and am looking to get the second one(HD). But, when I research on different sites, on the list of Trinitrons, some say the HD Tuner is built right in, while others say the Tuner is required to watch HD programs, and nothing is said about this specific one.

It has the HDMI(High-Def Multimedia Interface) in connection on the back of the tv, along with HD/DVD IN (1080i/720p/480p/480i). It says you can connect a DVD player or set-top box to either of these. What is the difference between those two connections? Also, I'm told it is capable of HD programs such as Discovery HD, HBO HD and things like that w/o the HD Tuner, but I am still curious as to why nothing is said about it anywhere about the tuner being built in/required. Does anyone know for sure what the deal is with this tv? Will I be able to watch HD programs w/o buying the HD Tuner that is said to be required for other HDTVs?

That does not have the specific tv I was looking at. Only the widescreens and a 27", which says requires the Tuner for HD reception.

I did, and I do not see a 32" tv in that list. Looked it over a few times, still nothing. Am I missing something?

Maybe because the models you listed don't exist anymore SnipeMasterJ13, I gave you a link that was close 😉
 
I'm 90 percent certain that it doesn't have an HD tuner built-in. That said, if you are going to be getting HBO HD, you'll have an HD set-top box from your cable or satellite provider and you won't need an HD tuner. Tuners are only needed to receive over-the-air HD signals (from your local ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and PBS affiliates).

Both HDMI and component inputs can transmit an HD signal. HDMI is all-digital, so theoretically that's your best bet when it comes to picture quality, but either connection will probably look great. You'll want a DVD player with a minimum of progressive scan (480p) to go along with your new TV.
