Industry if forever exploiting buzz words to sell items. "HDTV Ready" is a
new one. Most people don't really get it.

How many headphones say "digital ready" or "digital headphones"? Wow, what
a deal.

Other stupidity is "super plasma", and soon we will see "Blu Ray capable"
etc.

Consumers need to beware, since the stores use these gray areas of
advertising law with their sales personnel.
