is my plasma tv HD?

CROSSBONES

The normal No of pixels is 852 x 480,

but through the DVI input, takes it up to 1280 x 1024 60 Hz (SXGA).

Dont think this is HD, but would it be a better picture through the DVI input?

If resolution is 852x480, your plasma tv isn't hdtv.
Through the dvi input you may receive a better quality image but in fact, even if you can put at 1280x1024 *60hz, the real resolution is 852x480.
That's like my 42" lg plasma tv. I get better image quality using 852x480 as default resolution. (using a DVI with a PC as input)

I think is better you try.

ps.1280x1024 it's HD resolution but to get a HD compactible plasma you need a native resolution 768i. And a dvi and hdmi input

on the other hand my computer monitor which I use to watch sat tv is 19 inch 1280*1024 so it's hdtv

It could be if it's a widescreen (16:9) screen but otherwise I don't think it conforms to the specifiction.

don't know about specifications but I'm definitely able to enjoy hdtv content on it which looks way better than normal satellite.

It needs hdmi AND dvi input to be HDTV and be a 16:9....
