But how often did manufacturers do this? It seems like a wasted effort to claim something is less than it really is, considering how manufacturers like to lie about things and sell them as more than they really are.
My RCA's and a few others are labeled the same! They have the same inputs but are labeled SDTV. They all have the ATSC tuner.
It's probably a G'ment thing like the screen sizes. In Canada, a 20" set is a 21", a 27" is a 28", etc.
