Posted Yesterday on Mybroadband : https://mybroadband.co.za/news/gadgets/203340-alarm-raised-over-full-hd-tv-lie-in-south-africa.html

It says Full HD on the box, on the back of the TV, and the salesman confirms the display puts out 1080p. There?s just one problem: the panel is not Full HD.

MyBroadband was recently contacted by Abu-Huraira Oman Abdalla, a member of ISACA, who shared the results of tests he conducted on a ?Full HD? Telefunken TV.

Abdalla purchased a 32-inch Telefunken TV (TLEDD-32FHDB) from a Game store in KwaZulu-Natal and connected it to a PC for testing.

The TV is sold as a Full HD LED unit with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, with Full HD markings on the box and the back of the device.

When plugged into the PC, though, there was no Full HD resolution to be found.
